Spin and magnetism in old neutron stars

Monica Colpi, Andrea Possenti, S. B. Popov +1

The thermal, spin and magnetic evolution of neutron stars in the old low mass binaries is first explored. Recycled to very short periods via accretion torques, the neutron stars lo…

Log N -- Log S distributions of accreting and cooling isolated neutron stars

S. B. Popov, M. Colpi, M. E. Prokhorov +2

We model populations of isolated neutron stars in the Galaxy following their orbital and magneto-rotational evolution. It is shown that accretors become more abundant than coolers…

Isolated Neutron Stars in the Galaxy

S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov, M. Colpi +3

In this article we briefly review our recent results on evolution and properties of isolated neutron stars (INSs) in the Galaxy. As the first step we calculate a {\it census} of IN…

Constrains on parameters of magnetic field decay for accreting isolated neutron stars

S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov

The influence of exponential magnetic field decay (MFD) on the spin evolution of isolated neutron stars is studied. The ROSAT observations of several X-ray sources, which can be ac…

Restrictions on parameters of power-law magnetic field decay for accreting isolated neutron stars

S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov

In this short note we discuss the influence of power-law magnetic field decay on the evolution of old accreting isolated neutron stars. We show, that, contrary to exponential field…
