Neutron Star/supernova Rem- Nant Associations
نویسنده
چکیده
We summarize the current observational evidence for associations between supernova remnants and neutron stars, including radio pulsars, proposed “inactive” young neutron stars, “anomalous” X-ray pulsars, and soft gamma-ray repeaters, and argue that the paradigm that all young neutron stars are Crab-like requires reconsideration.

It is pointed out that a cavity supernova explosion of a moving massive star could result in a significant offset of the neutron star birthplace from the centre of the nearly spherical supernova remnant. Therefore: a) the high implied transverse velocities of a number of neutron stars (e.g. PSR B 1757-24, SGR 0526-66, 1E 0820-4247) could be reduced; b) the proper motion vector of the neutron st...
متن کاملNeutron Star/supernova Remnant Associations: the View from Tbilisi
We propose a new approach for studying the neutron star/supernova remnant associations, based on the idea that the supernova remnants (SNRs) can be products of an off-centered supernova (SN) explosion in a preexisting bubble created by the wind of a moving massive star. A cavity SN explosion of a moving star results in a considerable offset of the neutron star (NS) birth-place from the geometri...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of Neutron-Star Recoil in the Oxygen-Rich Supernova Remnant Puppis A
A sequence of three Chandra X-ray Observatory High Resolution Camera images taken over a span of five years reveals arc-second-scale displacement of RX J0822–4300, the stellar remnant (presumably a neutron star) near the center of the Puppis A supernova remnant. We measure its proper motion to be 0.165±0.025 arcsec yr toward the west-southwest. At a distance of 2 kpc, this corresponds to a tran...
متن کاملNeutron Stars in Supernova Remnants and Beyond
We discuss a concept of off-centred cavity supernova explosion as applied to neutron star/supernova remnant associations and show how this concept could be used to preclude the anti-humane decapitating the Duck (G 5.4−1.2 + G 5.27−0.9) and dismembering the Swan (Cygnus Loop), as well as to search for a stellar remnant associated with the supernova remnant RCW86.
متن کاملConstraining the Birth Events of Neutron Stars
The prescient remark by Baade and Zwicky that supernovae beget neutron stars did little to prepare us for the remarkable variety of observational manifestations such objects display. Indeed, during the first thirty years of the empirical study of neutron stars, only a handful were found to be associated with the remnants of exploded stars. But recent X-ray and radio observations have gone a lon...
