Magnetic fields of isolated neutron stars: evidence for decay

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show, that different types of isolated neutron stars (INSs) show evidence in favor of magnetic field decay in these objects, and discuss how observations of INSs can help to constrain models of field decay.
