Psr j0357+3205: The Tail of the Turtle

Abstract: Using a new XMM-Newton observation, we have characterized the X-ray properties of the middle-aged radio-quiet γ-ray pulsar J0357+3205 (named Morla) and its tail. The X-ray emission from the pulsar is consistent with a magnetospheric non-thermal origin plus a thermal emission from a hot spot (or hot spots). The lack of a thermal component from the whole surface makes Morla the coldest neutron star in its age range. We found marginal evidence for a double-peaked modulation of the X-ray emission. The study of the… Show more

“…Next, using the pulsar column density, we can get an estimate of its distance with respect to the edge of the Galaxy. Such an estimate could be refined if bright X-ray-emitting and optical- emitting stars (with known distances) were also present (see, e.g., Marelli et al 2013Marelli et al , 2014aMarelli et al , 2014b. The spatial resolution of this measurement is much higher than the one from the 21 cm H I sky survey of Kalberla et al (2005).…”

“…Much less obvious is another elongated extended emission protruding from J2055 thatis visible southeast to northwest. Unfortunately, this fainter secondary feature is heavily contaminated by bright point sources, hampering a classical analysis (see, e.g., Marelli et al 2013).…”
