Central Compact Objects in Supernova Remnants
Andrea De Luca
Central Compact Objects (CCOs) are a handful of soft X-ray sources located close to the centers of Supernova Remnants and supposed to be young, radio-quiet Isolated Neutron Stars (…
On the Subpulse Modulation, Polarization and Subbeam Carousel Configuration of Pulsar B1857--26
Dipanjan Mitra, Joanna M Rankin
New GMRT observations of the five-component pulsar B1857--26 provide detailed insight into its pulse-sequence modulation phenomena for the first time. The outer conal components ex…
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…
Filamentation Instability of Interacting Current Sheets in Striped Relativistic Winds: The Origin of Low Sigma?
Jonathan Arons
I outline a mechanism, akin to Weibel instabilities of interpenetrating beams, in which the neighboring current sheets in a striped wind from an oblique rotator interact through a…
40 Years of Pulsars: The Birth and Evolution of Isolated Radio Pulsars
C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, V. M. Kaspi
We investigate the birth and evolution of isolated radio pulsars using a population synthesis method, modeling the birth properties of the pulsars, their time evolution, and their…
Multi-Fluid Simulation of the Magnetic Field Evolution in Neutron Stars
Jaime Hoyos, Andreas Reisenegger, Juan A. Valdivia
Using a numerical simulation, we study the effects of ambipolar diffusion and ohmic diffusion on the magnetic field evolution in the interior of an isolated neutron star. We are in…
