Evidence for vacuum birefringence from the first optical polarimetry measurement of the isolated neutron star RX\, J1856.53754
R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, D. Gonzalez Caniulef +4
The "Magnificent Seven" (M7) are a group of radio-quiet Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs) discovered in the soft X-rays through their purely thermal surface emission. Owing to the larg…

Polarized thermal emission from X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars: the case of RX J1856.5-3754
Denis Gonzalez Caniulef, Silvia Zane, Roberto Taverna +2
The observed polarization properties of thermal radiation from isolated, cooling neutron stars depend on both the emission processes at the surface and the effects of the magnetize…
