We present here the computer model of the distribution of the luminosity, produced by old isolated neutron stars and black holes accreting from the interstellar medium in the Galaxy in R-Z plane. We show, that the luminosity distributions…
In this paper we present calculations of period distribution for old accreting isolated neutron stars (INSs). After few billion years of evolution low velocity INSs come to the stage of accretion. At this stage INS's period evolution is…
The contribution of weakly--magnetized ($B\sim 10^9$ G) neutron stars accreting the interstellar medium to the diffuse X--ray emission observed in the Galactic Center is investigated. It is shown that, under rather conservative assumptions…
As many as $10^9$ neutron stars populate the Galaxy, but only $\approx 10^3$ are directly observed as pulsars or as accreting sources in X-ray binaries. In principle also the accretion of the interstellar medium may make isolated neutron…
In this paper we present calculations of period distribution for old accreting isolated neutron stars (INSs). At the age about a few billions years low velocity INSs come to the stage of accretion. At that stage their period evolution is…
Interstellar matter that is accreted onto isolated magnetic neutron stars in the Galaxy ($\sim 10^9$ by number) is accelerated and reflected back by MHD shocks, which envelope the stars. The integrated power in the Galaxy $L_{cr,ns}$ is $…
Accretion of interstellar material by a magnetized, slowly rotating isolated neutron star is discussed. We show that the average persistent X-ray luminosity of these objects is unlikely to exceed 4x10^26 erg/s. They can also appear as X-ray…
Old neutron stars (ONSs) which have radiated away their internal and rotational energy may still shine if accreting the interstellar medium. Rather stringent limits from the analysis of ROSAT surveys indicate that most optimistic…
The structure of obscuring matter in the environment of active galactic nuclei with associated nuclear starbursts is investigated using 3-D hydrodynamical simulations. Simple analytical estimates suggest that the obscuring matter with…
Being fast rotating objects, isolated neutron stars (INSs) are obvious targets for high-time resolution observations. With the number of optical/UV/IR INS detections now increased to 24, timing observations become more and more important in…
Old isolated accreting neutron stars may show up among unidentified soft X--ray sources detected by the ROSAT All Sky Survey. We argue that the chances of identification are greater for ONSs located in the closest overdense regions of the…
In this paper we investigate the space and velocity distributions of old neutron stars (aged 109 to 1010 yr) in our Galaxy. Galactic old Neutron Stars (NSs) population fills a torus-like area extending to a few tens kiloparsecs above the…
Accretion of interstellar material by an isolated neutron star is discussed. The point I address here is the interaction between the accretion flow and the stellar magnetosphere. I show that the interchange instabilities of the…
Old neutron stars (ONSs) which have radiated away their internal and rotational energy may still shine if accreting the interstellar medium. Despite their large number, only two promising candidates have been detected so far and rather…
The X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs) are peculiar pulsar-like objects, characterized by their very well Planck-like spectrum. In studying their spectral energy distributions, the optical/UV excess is a long standing problem.…
It is known that the mass distribution of the known neutron stars (NSs) exhibits a bimodal pattern. The origin of this distribution remains a subject of debate. We constructed a super-Eddington accretion model for accreting neutron stars…
Thermal evolution of neutron stars is known to depend on the properties of superdense matter in neutron star cores. We suggest a statistical analysis of isolated cooling middle-aged neutron stars and old transiently accreting…
Unbiased analysis shows that IRAS data reliably differentiate between the early and late stages of stellar evolution because objects at these stages clearly segregate in infrared color-color diagrams. Structure in these diagrams is…
X-ray-dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs), also known as the Magnificent Seven, exhibits a Planck-like soft X-ray spectrum. In the optical/ultraviolet(UV) band, there is an excess of radiation compared to the extrapolation from the X-ray…
In recent years, the number of pulsars with secure mass measurements has increased to a level that allows us to probe the underlying neutron star (NS) mass distribution in detail. We critically review the radio pulsar mass measurements. For…
