Discovery of gamma and X-ray pulsations from the young and energetic PSR J1357-6429 with Fermi and XMM-Newton

M. Lemoine-Goumard, V. E. Zavlin, M. -H. Grondin +20

Since the launch of the Fermi satellite, the number of known gamma-ray pulsars has increased tenfold. Most gamma-ray detected pulsars are young and energetic, and many are associat…

X-ray Spectrum and Pulsations of the Vela Pulsar

D. Sanwal, G. G. Pavlov, O. Y. Kargaltsev +5

We report the results of the spectral and timing analysis of observations of the Vela pulsar with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The spectrum shows no statistically significant spe…

The Compact Central Object in Cas A: A Neutron Star with Hot Polar Caps or a Black Hole?

G. G. Pavlov, V. E. Zavlin, B. Aschenbach +2

The central pointlike X-ray source of the Cas A supernova remnant was discovered in the Chandra First Light Observation and found later in the archival ROSAT and Einstein images. T…

A Method for Distinguishing Between Transiently Accreting Neutron Stars and Black Holes, in Quiescence

Robert E. Rutledge, Lars Bildsten, Edward F. Brown +2

We fit hydrogen atmosphere models to the X-ray data for four neutron stars (three from a previous paper, plus 4U 2129+47) and six black hole candidates (A0620-00, GS 2000+25, GS 11…

X-ray Pulsations from the Central Source in Puppis A

G. G. Pavlov, V. E Zavlin, J. Truemper

There are several supernova remnants which contain unresolved X-ray sources close to their centers, presumably radio-quiet neutron stars. To prove that these objects are indeed neu…

The Thermal X-ray Spectra of Cen X-4, Aql X-1, and 4U 1608-522 in Quiescence

R. E. Rutledge, L. Bildsten, E. F. Brown +2

We re-analyze the available X-ray spectral data of the type I bursting neutron star transients Aql X-1, Cen X-4, and 4U 1608-522 using realistic hydrogen atmosphere models. Previou…

Multiwavelength observations of isolated neutron stars as a tool to probe the properties of their surfaces

G. G. Pavlov, V. E. Zavlin, J. Truemper +1

We show that an analysis of multiwavelength observations of isolated neutron stars based on neutron star atmosphere models can be used not only to evaluate the neutron star effecti…
