The observability of old neutron stars accreting the interstellar medium: III. The solar proximity
Silvia Zane, Luca Zampieri, Roberto Turolla +1
Old isolated accreting neutron stars may show up among unidentified soft X--ray sources detected by the ROSAT All Sky Survey. We argue that the chances of identification are greate…
OLD ISOLATED ACCRETING NEUTRON STARS: CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOFT X--RAY BACKGROUND IN THE 0.5--2 KEV BAND
Silvia Zane, Roberto Turolla, Luca Zampieri +2
The issue of the observability of Old Isolated Neutron Stars (ONSs) accreting from the interstellar gas, is reconsidered using the spectra presented in Zampieri {\it et al.\/} (199…
On the electrodynamics of a magnetized rotating accretor
Aldo Treves, Ewa Szuszkiewicz
We consider the current flow in an accreting rotating neutron star (X-ray pulsator) and propose that the active magnetosphere is limited by the Alfvèn surface. Formulae for the lum…
