Be born slow or die fast: spin evolution of neutron stars with alignment or counteralignment
S. A. Eliseeva, S. B. Popov, V. S. Beskin
We revisit the case of magneto-rotational evolution of neutron stars (NSs) with accounting for changes of the angle χbetween spin and magnetic axes. This element of the evolution o…
The Zoo of Neutron Stars
S. B. Popov
In these lecture notes I briefly discuss the present day situation and new discoveries in astrophysics of neutron stars focusing on isolated objects. The latter include soft gamma…
The Magnificent Seven in the dusty prairie -- The role of interstellar absorption on the observed neutron star population
B. Posselt, S. B. Popov, F. Haberl +3
The Magnificent Seven have all been discovered by their exceptional soft X-ray spectra and high ratios of X-ray to optical flux. They all are considered to be nearby sources. Searc…
Neutron star masses: dwarfs, giants and neighbors
S. B. Popov, D. Blaschke, H. Grigorian +1
We discuss three topics related to the neutron star (NS) mass spectrum. At first we discuss the possibility to form low-mass () and suggest this…
A tale of two populations: Rotating Radio Transients and X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars
S. B. Popov, R. Turolla, A. Possenti
We highlight similarities between recently discovered Rotating Radio Transients and X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars. In particular, it is shown that X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Sta…
