Isolated neutron star candidates from the fourth generation XMM-Newton catalogues

Adriana M. Pires, Christian Motch, Jan Kurpas +9

X-ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) are a rare population that provides insights into neutron star cooling, magnetic-field evolution, and Galactic demographics.…

X-ray, optical, and radio follow-up of five thermally emitting isolated neutron star candidates

J. Kurpas, A. M. Pires, A. D. Schwope +7

We report on follow-up observations with XMM-Newton, the FORS2 instrument at the ESO-VLT, and FAST, aiming to characterise the nature of five thermally emitting isolated neutron st…

A multi-wavelength view of the isolated neutron star eRASSU J065715.3+260428

J. Kurpas, A. M. Pires, A. D. Schwope +6

The X-ray source eRASSU J065715.3+260428 was identified as a likely thermally emitting isolated neutron star in a search in the SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey. We investigated the natu…

Isolated neutron stars as Science Validation for XMM2ATHENA: Ensuring robust data for future X-ray Astronomy

Adriana Mancini Pires, Christian Motch, Axel Schwope +9

The discovery of radio-quiet, X-ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star pop…

Thermally emitting isolated neutron star candidates from the SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey

J. Kurpas, A. D. Schwope, A. M. Pires +1

The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS) allows for the creation of a complete sample of X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs), which will significantly facilitate the study of t…

Detection of pulsed X-ray emission from the isolated neutron star candidate eRASSU J131716.9-402647

J. Kurpas, A. D. Schwope, A. M. Pires +1

The X-ray source eRASSU J131716.9-402647 was recently identified from observations with Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG)/eROSITA as a promising X-ray dim isolated neutron star (XDINS)…
