“…It is based on the population synthesis (Popov & Prokhorov 2007) of close-by ICoNSs developed since 2003 (Popov et al 2003(Popov et al , 2005(Popov et al , 2006b(Popov et al , 2010Posselt et al 2008), and we refer to these papers for details.…”

We present a new web-tool -NET-PSICONS -for population synthesis of isolated near-by cooling neutron stars (NSs). The main aim is to provide an easy test of models of the NS thermal evolution which can be used by groups studying this subject. A user can upload cooling curves for a set of masses, modify the mass spectrum if necessary, change radii to fit the EoS used for cooling curve calculations, and then a population synthesis of close-by isolated cooling NSs is performed. The output includes the log N -log S distribution confronted with the ROSAT observations and several other sets of data. In this paper, we summarize the idea of the test proposed by Popov et al. (2006), and present a user's manual for the web-tool.

“…In [2] the authors derived the initial distribution of magnetic fields which successfully describes three subpopulations of isolated NSs, using the population synthesis technique [3]. It is a log-Gaussian distribution with log(B 0 /[G]) ∼ 13.25 and σ log B 0 ∼ 0.6.…”

Using the model with decaying magnetic fields it is possible to describe with one smooth (logGaussian) initial magnetic field distribution three types of isolated neutron stars: radiopulsar, magnetars, and cooling close-by compact objects. The same model is used here to make predictions for old accreting isolated neutron stars. It is shown that using the updated field distribution we predict a significant fraction of isolated neutron stars at the stage of accretion despite long subsonic propeller stage.

“…Eliseeva et al (2006) include this possibility in their work, suggesting a possible direction for further improvements in models for the evolution of neutron stars (Lipunov et al 1996;Story et al 2007;Popov & Prokhorov 2007;Gullón et al 2014). …”

Almost 50 years after radio pulsars were discovered in 1967, our understanding of these objects remains incomplete. On the one hand, within a few years it became clear that neutron star rotation gives rise to the extremely stable sequence of radio pulses, that the kinetic energy of rotation provides the reservoir of energy, and that electromagnetic fields are the braking mechanism. On the other hand, no consensus regarding the mechanism of coherent radio emission or the conversion of electromagnetic energy to particle energy yet exists. In this review, we report on three aspects of pulsar structure that have seen recent progress: the self-consistent theory of the magnetosphere of an oblique magnetic rotator; the location, geometry, and optics of radio emission; and evolution of the angle between spin and magnetic axes. These allow us to take the next step in understanding the physical nature of the pulsar activity.

Population synthesis in astrophysics

Abstract: We briefly describe different astrophysical applications of a population synthesis method. In some details we discuss the population synthesis of close binary systems and of isolated neutron stars.
