نویسندگان
چکیده
The isolated neutron star candidate RBS 1223 was observed with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer aboard the Chandra X-ray observatory on 2000 June 24. A timing analysis of the data yielded a periodic modulation with a period P = 5.1571696

A Coherent Timing Solution for the Nearby Isolated Neutron Star
We present a phase-connected timing solution for the nearby isolated neutron star RX J1308.6+2127 (RBS 1223). From dedicated Chandra observations as well as archival Chandra and XMM-Newton data spanning a period of five years, we demonstrate that the 10.31-sec pulsations are slowing down steadily at a rate of Ṗ = 1.120(3)× 10 s s. Under the assumption that this is due to magnetic dipole torques...
متن کاملXMM-Newton Detection of Pulsations and a Spectral Feature in the X-ray Emission of the Isolated Neutron Star 1RXS
We report on the results of a deep XMM-Newton observation of RBS 1774, the most recent dim isolated neutron star candidate found in the ROSAT archive data. Spectral and timing analysis of the high-quality PN and MOS data confirm the association of this source with an isolated neutron star. The spectrum is thermal and blackbody-like, and there is evidence at a significance level > 4σ that the so...
متن کاملThe isolated neutron star candidate RBS 1223 ( 1 RXS
In the ROSAT Bright Survey (RBS) we have almost completely optically identified the brightest ∼2000 high-galactic latitude sources from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (1RXS). A small number of sources has empty X-ray error circles on optical images. ROSAT HRI follow-up observations of RBS1223 (=1RXS J130848.6+212708), a soft object with extreme X-ray to optical flux ratio, hav...
متن کاملLetter to the Editor RX J0420.0–5022: an isolated neutron star candidate with evidence for 22.7 s X-ray pulsations
We report the discovery of a new isolated neutron star candidate, RX J0420.0–5022, showing evidence (4σ) for 22.7 s X-ray pulsations in ROSAT data. NTT observations of the field around the soft X-ray source do not reveal any likely optical counterpart brighter than B = 25.25 implying an X-ray to optical flux ratio of > 103.3 and ruling out other possible kinds of X-ray emitters. The X-ray spect...
