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…

Isolated Neutron Stars in the Galaxy
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov, M. Colpi +3
In this article we briefly review our recent results on evolution and properties of isolated neutron stars (INSs) in the Galaxy. As the first step we calculate a {\it census} of IN…
