Neutron stars are natural physical laboratories allowing us to study a plethora of
phenomena in extreme conditions. In particular, these compact objects can have very strong …

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 …

Initial distributions of pulsar periods and magnetic fields are essential components of
multiple modern astrophysical models. Not enough work has been done to properly …

Understanding the natal kicks, or birth velocities, of neutron stars is essential for
understanding the evolution of massive binaries and double neutron star formation. We use …

The recent discovery of a radio-emitting neutron star with an ultralong spin period of 76 s,
PSR J0901-4046, raises a fundamental question on how such a slowly rotating magnetized …

Off-centred dipole configurations have been suggested to explain different phenomena in
neutron stars, such as natal kicks, irregularities in polarization of radio pulsars and …

Abstract Central Compact Objects (CCOs) are a handful of sources located close to the
geometrical center of young supernova remnants. They only show thermal-like, soft X-ray …

Central compact objects (CCOs) are young neutron stars emitting thermal X-rays with
bolometric luminosities LX in the range of 10 32–10 34 erg s− 1. Gourgouliatos, Hollerbach …

Neutron stars host the strongest magnetic fields that we know of in the Universe. Their
magnetic fields are the main means of generating their radiation, either magnetospheric or …

In this paper, which is the second in a series of papers, we analyse what parameters can
determine the width of the radio pulsar 'death valley'in the P–diagram. Using exact …
