Optical Studies of Isolated Neutron Stars and Their Environments
Roberto P. Mignani
The results of optical studies of Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), their Pulsar-Wind Nebulae (PWNe) and Pulsar Bow Shocks are reviewed and discussed.
X-ray and optical coverage of 3EG J0616-3310 and 3EG J1249-8330
N. La Palombara, G. F. Bignami, P. Caraveo +4
The limited angular resolution of gamma-ray telescopes prevents the straight identification of the majority of the sources detected so far. This is particularly true for the low la…
Geminga: a tale of two tails, and much more
P. A. Caraveo, G. F. Bignami, A. De Luca +5
We report on the deep (100 ksec) XMM-Newton/EPIC observation of the field of the Geminga pulsar. The unprecedented throughput of the instrument allowed to detect two elongated para…
1E1207.4-5209 - a Unique Object
G. F. Bignami, A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo +3
The discovery of deep spectral features in the X-ray spectrum of 1E1207.4-5209 focussed the attention of the astronomical community on this radio-quiet NS, making it the most inten…
HST and VLT observations of Pulsars and their Environments
Roberto P. Mignani, Andrea De Luca, Patrizia A. Caraveo
The state of the art of optical studies of Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs) and their Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) is reviewed. In addition, results obtained from recent HST and VLT obs…
Unveiling the multi-wavelength phenomenology of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars
GianLuca Israel, Luigi Stella, Stefano Covino +6
During 2002-2003 the number of IR-identified counterparts to the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) has grown to four (4U0142+614, 2E2259+584, 1E 1048-59 and 1RXS J170849-400910) out o…
