Trans-sonic propeller stage
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov
We follow the approach used by Davies and Pringle (1981) and discuss the trans-sonic substage of the propeller regime. This substage is intermediate between the supersonic and subs…
Formation of massive skyrmion stars
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov
As it is well known for stiff equations of state an existence of neutron stars with masses $\ga 2 M_{\sun}$ is possible. Especially interesting possibility is opened if the equatio…
Population synthesis as a probe of neutron star thermal evolution
S. Popov, H. Grigorian, R. Turolla +1
The study of thermal emission from isolated, cooling neutron stars plays a key role in probing the physical conditions of both the star crust and the core. The comparison of theore…
Close by Compact Objects and Recent Supernovae in the Solar Vicinity
S. B. Popov
I discuss young close-by compact objects, recent supernovae in the solar neighbourhood, and point to their connection with cosmic ray studies. Especially the role of the Gould Belt…
Age-Distance diagram for close-by young neutron stars
S. B. Popov
An age--distance diagram for close-by young isolated neutron stars of different types is introduced and discussed. It is shown that such a diagram can be a useful tool for studying…
On the mechanism of low-mass compact object formation
S. B. Popov
We suggest that low-mass compact objects (hadron stars, quark stars) with can appear only due to fragmentation of rapidly rotating proto-neutron stars. Such low-mas…
