Long X-ray flares from the central source in RCW 103
P. Esposito, A. De Luca, R. Turolla +7
We observed the slowly revolving pulsar 1E 161348-5055 (1E 1613, spin period of 6.67 h) in the supernova remnant RCW 103 twice with XMM-Newton and once with the Very Large Telescop…
The nature of the infrared counterpart and of the optical nebula associated with the Central Compact Object in Vela Jr.\
R. P. Mignani, A. De Luca, S. Zharikov +3
The X-ray source CXO\, J085201.4461753in the few kyr-old Vela Jr. supernova remnant (G266.2-1.2) belongs to the peculiar class of isolated neutron stars dubbed "Central Compact…
The first detection of a pulsar with ALMA
Roberto P. Mignani, Rosita Paladino, Bronek Rudak +8
Pulsars are neutron stars, stellar corpses left over after supernova explosions of stars about ten times as massive as our Sun, with densities comparable to the atomic nucleus', sp…
VLT observations of the magnetar CXO J164710.2-455216 and the detection of a candidate infrared counterpart
V. Testa, R. P. Mignani, W. Hummel +2
We present deep observations of the field of the magnetar CXOJ164710.2-455216 in the star cluster Westerlund 1, obtained in the near-infrared with the adaptive optics camera NACO@V…
The near-infrared detection of PSR B0540-69 and its nebula
R. P. MignanI, A. De Luca, W. Hummel +4
The ~1700 year old PSR B0540-69 in the LMC is considered the twin of the Crab pulsar because of its similar spin parameters, magnetic field, and energetics. Its optical spectrum is…
Discovery of a faint X-ray counterpart and of a parsec-long X-ray tail for the middle-aged, gamma-ray only pulsar PSR J0357+3205
A. De Luca, M. Marelli, R. P. Mignani +7
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite opened a new era for pulsar astronomy, detecting gamma-ray pulsations from more than 60 pulsars, ~40% of which are not se…
