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…
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…
Magnetic fields of isolated neutron stars: evidence for decay
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov
We show, that different types of isolated neutron stars (INSs) show evidence in favor of magnetic field decay in these objects, and discuss how observations of INSs can help to con…
Stochastic spin evolution of neutron stars
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov, A. V. Khoperskov +1
In this paper we present calculations of period distribution for old accreting isolated neutron stars (INSs). At the age about a few billions years low velocity INSs come to the st…
The Magnificent Seven: Close-by Cooling Neutron Stars?
A. Treves, S. B. Popov, M. Colpi +2
We model Galactic populations of accreting and cooling isolated neutron stars in the attempt to explore their link with a new class of dim soft X-ray sources revealed by ROSAT. For…
The 35-day cycle in Her X-1 as observational appearance of freely precessing neutron star and forcedly precessing accretion disk
N. A. Ketsaris, M. Kuster, K. A. Postnov +4
A careful analysis of X-ray light curves and pulse profiles of Her X-1 obtained over more than 20 years strongly evidences for free precession of a magnetized neutron star with rot…
