XMM-Newton discovery of 2.6 s pulsations in the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, A. Tiengo, S. Mereghetti +6
After nearly a decade of quiescence, the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41 reactivated on 2008 May 28 with a bursting episode followed by a slowly decaying enhancement of its per…
The isolated neutron star candidate 2XMM J104608.7-594306
A. M. Pires, C. Motch, R. Turolla +2
Over the last decade, X-ray observations unveiled the existence of several classes of isolated neutron stars (INSs) which are radio-quiet or exhibit radio emission with properties…
The 2008 May burst activation of SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, S. Zane +16
In May 2008 the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41 resumed its bursting activity after nearly a decade of quiescence. After detection of a bright burst, Swift pointed its X-ray te…
Observations of Isolated Neutron Stars with the ESO Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator
R. P. Mignani, R. Falomo, A. Moretti +10
High-energy observations have unveiled peculiar classes of isolated neutron stars which, at variance with radio pulsars, are mostly radio silent and not powered by the star rotatio…
X-ray spectra from magnetar candidates. II Resonant cross sections for electron-photon scattering in the relativistic regime
L. Nobili, R. Turolla, S. Zane
Recent models of spectral formation in magnetars called renewed attention on electron-photon scattering in the presence of ultra-strong magnetic fields. Investigations presented so…
An Optical Counterpart Candidate for the Isolated Neutron Star RBS1774
S. Zane, R. Mignani, R. Turolla +5
Multiwavelength studies of the seven identified X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs) offer a unique opportunity to investigate their surface thermal and magnetic structure and…
