RCW 103 -- Revisiting a cooling neutron star
arXiv:astro-ph/9805085 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.1998.01853.x
Abstract
Recent observations of the compact source embedded within the supernova remnant RCW 103 rekindle interest in the origin of this object's emission. We contrast several models in which neutron-star cooling powers RCW 103. Specifically, either the presence of an accreted envelope or a sufficiently intense magnetic field can account for the X-ray emission from this object.
