Cyclotron lines, also called cyclotron resonant scattering features are spectral features,
generally appearing in absorption, in the X-ray spectra of objects containing highly …

In this brief review, I summarize our basic knowledge about different types of isolated
neutron stars. I discuss radio pulsars, central compact objects in supernova remnants …

The current sample of 12 radio-quiet isolated neutron stars that emit strongly in X-rays
(XINSs) is both small and heterogeneous, limiting its usefulness for understanding the …

Context. The isolated neutron star (INS) 2XMM J104608. 7-594306 is one of the only two to
be discovered through their thermal emission since the ROSAT era. Possibly a remnant of a …

ABSTRACT The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS) allows for the creation of a
complete sample of X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs), which will significantly …

While fewer in number than the dominant rotation-powered radio pulsar population, peculiar
classes of isolated neutron stars (INSs)–which include magnetars, the ROSAT-discovered …

Since the discovery of the first radio pulsar fifty years ago, the population of neutron stars in
our Galaxy has grown to over 2,600. A handful of these sources, exclusively seen in X-rays …

After a brief review of population synthesis of close‐by cooling neutron stars, I focus on the
interpretation of the dichotomy of spin periods of near‐by coolers. The existence of two well …
