Chandra Observations of Neutron Stars -- An Overview

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a brief review of Chandra observations of neutron stars, with a concentration on neutron stars in supernova remnants. The early Chandra results clearly demonstrate how critical the angular resolution has been in order to separate the neutron star emission from the surrounding nebulosity.
