Young compact objects in the Solar vicinity
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov, M. Colpi +2
We present Log N -- Log S distribution for close-by young isolated neutron stars. On the basis of this distribution it is shown that the seven ROSAT isolated neutron stars (if they…
Unveiling black holes ejected from globular clusters
Alessia Gualandris, Monica Colpi, Andrea Possenti
Was the black hole in XTE J1118+480 ejected from a globular cluster or kicked away from the galactic disk?
Is NGC6752 hiding a double black hole binary in its core ?
Monica Colpi, Alessia Gualandris, Andrea Possenti
NGC6752 hosts in its halo PSR J1911-5958A, a newly discovered binary millisecond pulsar which is the most distant pulsar ever known from the core of a globular cluster. Interesting…
Young close isolated compact objects
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov, M. Colpi +2
We suggest that the seven radio-quiet isolated neutron stars observed with ROSAT are young cooling objects associated to recent near-by supernova explosions which formed runaway st…
