Implications of the Optical Observations of Isolated Neutron Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Observations of the 5 confirmed optical pulsars indicate that the peak emission scales according to the outer field strength. We show that this gives gives further confirmation that a simple phenomenological models such as Pacini and Salvati (1987) still have validity. Furthermore we show that the Crab pulsar exhibits unpulsed emission which further complicate any studies of the thermal emission from Isolated Neutron Stars.
