3XMM J185246.6+003317: another low magnetic field magnetar
N. Rea, D. Vigano', G. L. Israel +2
We study the outburst of the newly discovered X-ray transient 3XMM J185246.6+003317, re-analysing all available XMM-Newton, observations of the source to perform a phase-coherent t…
Magnetic fields in neutron stars
Daniele Viganò
This work aims at studying how magnetic fields affect the observational properties and the long-term evolution of isolated neutron stars, which are the strongest magnets in the uni…
The imprint of the crustal magnetic field on the thermal spectra and pulse profiles of isolated neutron stars
Rosalba Perna, Daniele Vigano', Jose' A. Pons +1
Isolated neutron stars (NSs) show a bewildering variety of astrophysical manifestations, presumably shaped by the magnetic field strength and topology at birth. Here, using state-o…
Unifying the observational diversity of isolated neutron stars via magneto-thermal evolution models
Daniele Viganò, Nanda Rea, Jose A. Pons +3
Observations of magnetars and some of the high magnetic field pulsars have shown that their thermal luminosity is systematically higher than that of classical radio-pulsars, thus c…
A highly resistive layer within the crust of X-ray pulsars limits their spin periods
Jose A. Pons, Daniele Viganò, Nanda Rea
The lack of X-ray pulsars with spin periods > 12 s raises the question of where the population of evolved high magnetic field neutron stars has gone. Unlike canonical radio pulsars…
Central compact objects in magnetic lethargy
Daniele Viganò, Jose A. Pons, Rosalba Perna
Central Compact Objects are peculiar young neutron stars, with very low external magnetic fields combined with high fluxes in the X-ray band and surface temperature anisotropies. H…
