Constraining the Proper Motions of Two Magnetars

D. L. Kaplan, S. Chatterjee, B. M. Gaensler +2

We attempt to measure the proper motions of two magnetars - the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1900+14 and the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 - using two epochs of Chandra observa…

A Precise Proper Motion for the Crab Pulsar, and the Difficulty of Testing Spin-Kick Alignment for Young Neutron Stars

D. L. Kaplan, S. Chatterjee, B. M. Gaensler +1

We present a detailed measurement of the proper motion of the Crab pulsar, with the primary goal of comparing the direction of its proper motion with the projected axis of its puls…

Accurate X-ray position and multiwavelength observations of the isolated neutron star RBS 1774

N. Rea, M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker +7

We report on X-ray, optical, infrared and radio observations of the X-ray dim isolated neutron star (XDINS) 1RXS J214303.7+065419 (also known as RBS 1774). The X-ray observation wa…

The Distance to the Isolated Neutron Star RX J0720.4-3125

D. L. Kaplan, M. H. van Kerkwijk, J. Anderson

We have used a set of dedicated astrometric data from the Hubble Space Telescope to measure the parallax and proper motion of the nearby neutron star RX J0720.4-3125. At each of ei…

Optical Detection of Two Intermediate Mass Binary Pulsar Companions

B. A. Jacoby, D. Chakrabarty, M. H. van Kerkwijk +2

We report the detection of probable optical counterparts for two Intermediate Mass Binary Pulsar (IMBP) systems, PSR J1528-3146 and PSR J1757-5322. Recent radio pulsar surveys have…

A Coherent Timing Solution for the Nearby Isolated Neutron Star RX J1308.6+2127/RBS 1223

D. L. Kaplan, M. H. van Kerkwijk

We present a phase-connected timing solution for the nearby isolated neutron star RX J1308.6+2127 (RBS 1223). From dedicated Chandra observations as well as archival Chandra and XM…
