PSR J0357+3205: the tail of the turtle

Martino Marelli, Andrea De Luca, David Salvetti +6

Using a new XMM-Newton observation, we have characterized the X-ray properties of the middle-aged radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar J0357+3205 (named Morla) and its tail. The X-ray emis…

PSR J0357+3205: a fast moving pulsar with a very unusual X-ray trail

A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, M. Marelli +6

The middle-aged PSR J0357+3205 is a nearby, radio-quiet, bright gamma-ray pulsar discovered by the Fermi mission. Our previous Chandra observation revealed a huge, very peculiar st…

The birthplace and age of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754

R. P. Mignani, D. Vande Putte, M. Cropper +6

X-ray observations unveiled various types of radio-silent Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), phenomenologically very diverse, e.g. the Myr old X-ray Dim INS (XDINSs) and the kyr old ma…

Halo millisecond pulsars ejected by intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters

Alberto Sesana, Nicola Sartore, Bernadetta Devecchi +1

Intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) are among the most elusive objects in contemporary astrophysics. Both theoretical and observational evidence of their existence is subject of…

A study of the long term variability of RX J1856.5-3754 with XMM-Newton

S. Mereghetti, N. Sartore, A. Tiengo +3

We report on a detailed spectral analysis of all the available XMM-Newton data of RX J1856.5-3754, the brightest and most extensively observed nearby, thermally emitting neutron st…

Spectral monitoring of RX J1856.5-3754 with XMM-Newton. Analysis of EPIC-pn data

N. Sartore, A. Tiengo, S. Mereghetti +3

Using a large set of XMM-Newton observations we searched for long term spectral and flux variability of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754 in the time interval from April 20…
