A note on the discovery of absorption features in 1E 1207.4-5209

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

In a paper by Sanwal et al. (2002), it is supposed to be very difficult to interpret the absorption features in term of cyclotron lines. However, we would like to address here that the possibility of the absorption being cyclotron resonance can not be ruled out.We propose that the isolate neutron star, 1E 1207.4-5209 in the center of supernova remnant PKS 1209-51/52, has a debris disk and is in a propeller phase, with an accretion rate 6x10^{-11} M_solar/year.
