VLT observations of Compact Central Objects
R. P. Mignani, S. Zaggia, D. Dobrzycka +4
We present the first results of our VLT observation campaign of the Central Compact Objects (CCOs) in SNRs RX J085201.4-461753 (Vela Jr), 1E 1648-5051 (RCW 103) and RX J171328.4-39…
The HST contribution to neutron star astronomy
R. P. Mignani
While isolated neutron stars (INSs) are among the brightest gamma-ray sources, they are among the faintest ones in the optical, and their study is a challenging task which require…
Neutrons from Piezonuclear Reactions
F. Cardone, G. Cherubini, R. Mignani +4
We report the results obtained by cavitating water solutions of iron salts (iron chloride and iron nitrate) with different concentrations at different ultrasound powers. In all cas…
HST multi-epoch imaging of the PSR B0540-69 system unveils a highly dynamic synchrotron nebula
A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, P. A. Caraveo +1
PSR B0540-69 is the Crab twin in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Age, energetic and overall behaviour of the two pulsars are very similar. The same is true for the general appearance o…
High-resolution FUSE and HST ultraviolet spectroscopy of the white dwarf central star of Sh 2-216
T. Rauch, M. Ziegler, K. Werner +5
LS V +4621 is the DAO-type central star of the planetary nebula Sh 2-216. We perform a comprehensive spectral analysis of high-resolution, high-S/N ultraviolet observations obtaine…
