The Magnificent Seven: Nearby Isolated Neutron Stars with strong Magnetic Fields
F. Haberl
Abstract
Although the true origin of the broad absorption lines in X-ray spectra of thermal isolated neutron stars is not clear yet, our current knowledge about the "magnificent seven" strongly suggests that they are highly magnetized (1013 - 1014 G), slowly rotating cooling neutron stars. Further timing studies would be very useful to obtain more independent estimates of the magnetic field strength (as they currently only exist from RX J0720.4-3125).
