The isolated neutron star candidate 2XMM J104608.7-594306
A. M. Pires, C. Motch, R. Turolla +2
Over the last decade, X-ray observations unveiled the existence of several classes of isolated neutron stars (INSs) which are radio-quiet or exhibit radio emission with properties…
Proper motions of ROSAT discovered isolated neutron stars measured with Chandra: First X-ray measurement of the large proper motion of RX J1308.6+2127/RBS 1223
C. Motch, A. M. Pires, F. Haberl +2
The unprecedented spatial resolution of the Chandra observatory opens the possibility to detect with relatively high accuracy proper motions at X-ray wavelengths. We have conducted…
Searching for new thermally emitting isolated neutron stars in the 2XMMp catalogue - Discovery of a promising candidate
Adriana M. Pires, Christian Motch
The group of 7 thermally emitting and radio-quiet isolated neutron stars (INSs) discovered by ROSAT constitutes a nearby population which locally appears to be as numerous as that…
Measuring proper motions of isolated neutron stars with Chandra
C. Motch, A. M. Pires, F. Haberl +1
The excellent spatial resolution of the Chandra observatory offers the unprecedented possibility to measure proper motions at X-ray wavelength with relatively high accuracy using a…
