XMM-Newton and VLT observations of the isolated neutron star 1E 1207.4-5209
A. De Luca, S. Mereghetti, P. A. Caraveo +3
In August 2002, XMM-Newton devoted two full orbits to the observation of 1E 1207.4-5209, making this isolated neutron star the most deeply scrutinized galactic target of the missio…
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…
Out of the Chorus Line : What Makes 1E1207.4-5209 a Unique Object?
A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo, S. Mereghetti +3
The discovery of deep spectral features in the X-ray spectrum of 1E1207.4-5209 has pushed this Isolated Neutron Star (INS) out of the chorus line, since no other INS has shown sign…
Discovery of X-ray cyclotron absorption lines measures the magnetic field of an isolated neutron star
G. F. Bignami, P. A. Caraveo, A. De Luca +1
Isolated neutron stars are higly magnetized, fast rotating end points of stellar evolution. They are now becoming directly observable through X-ray astronomy, owing to their high s…
