A phase-coherent timing solution for the X-ray dim isolated neutron star eRASSU J131716.9-402647
J. Kurpas, A. M. Pires, A. D. Schwope +2
Based on its predominantly thermal X-ray emission and long spin period, the isolated neutron star eRASSU J131716.9-402647 is one of the most promising candidates for membership in…
Astro 2020 Science White Paper: Time Domain Studies of Neutron Star and Black Hole Populations: X-ray Identification of Compact Object Types
N. Vulic, A. E. Hornschemeier, V. Antoniou +16
What are the most important conditions and processes governing the growth of stellar-origin compact objects? The identification of compact object type as either black hole (BH) or…
VLT/FORS2 observations of the optical counterpart of the isolated neutron star RBS 1774
R. P. Mignani, S. Zane, R. Turolla +5
X-ray observations performed with ROSAT led to the discovery of a group (seven to date) of X-ray dim and radio-silent middle-aged isolated neutron stars (a.k.a. XDINSs), which are…
VLT optical observations of the isolated neutron star RX J0420.0-5022
R. P. Mignani, C. Motch, F. Haberl +3
X-ray observations performed with ROSAT led to the discovery of 7 radio-silent isolated neutron stars (INSs) which are detected only through the relatively dim and purely thermal X…
The proper motion of the isolated neutron star RX J1605.3+3249
C. Motch, K. Sekiguchi, F. Haberl +3
We obtained deep optical imaging of the thermally emitting X-ray bright and radio-quiet isolated neutron star RX J1605.3+3249 with the Subaru telescope in 1999 and 2003. Together w…
The proper motion and energy distribution of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125
C. Motch, V. E. Zavlin, F. Haberl
ESO 4m class telescope and VLT deep imaging of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 reveals a proper motion of mu = 97 +/-12 mas/yr and a blue U-B color index. We show that a…
XMM-Newton observations of the isolated neutron star RX J0806.4-4123
F. Haberl, V. E. Zavlin
The isolated neutron star RX J0806.4-4123 was observed with XMM-Newton in November 2000. The data from the three EPIC instruments allowed us (i) to derive an improved X-ray positio…
X-ray and optical observations of 1RXS J154814.5-452845: a new intermediate polar with soft X-ray emission
F. Haberl, C. Motch, F. -J. Zickgraf
We report the identification of the ROSAT all-sky survey source 1RXS J154814.5-452845as new intermediate polar and present the results from follow-up optical and X-ray observations…
Modelling the spin pulse profile of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4--3125 observed with XMM-Newton
Mark Cropper, Silvia Zane, Gavin Ramsay +2
We model the spin pulse intensity and hardness ratio profiles of the isolated neutron star RXJ0720.4--3125 using XMM-Newton data. The observed variation is approximately sinusoidal…
The isolated neutron star candidate RX J1605.3+3249
C. Motch, F. Haberl, F. -J. Zickgraf +2
We report on X-ray and optical observations of a ROSAT X-ray source, RX J1605.3+3249, selected from the all-sky survey on the basis of its spectral softness and lack of bright opti…
Constraints on optical emission from the isolated neutron star candidate RX J0720.4-3125
C. Motch, F. Haberl
Deep optical B band images of the ROSAT HRI error region of RX J0720.4-3125 reveal the presence of two faint stellar-like objects with B = 26.1 +/- 0.25 and B = 26.5 +/- 0.30. Expo…
