HOORAY!!!!
Log N – Log S can select models!!!!!Only three (or even one!) passed the second test!
…….still………… is it possible just to update the temperature-age test???
May be Log N – Log S is not necessary?Let’s try!!!!
![Page 37: Isolated neutron stars: population synthesis and cooling curves Sergei Popov (Sternberg Astronomical Institute) Co-authors: D. Blaschke, H.Grigorian, B](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649d695503460f94a47464/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Brightness constraint
Effects of the crust (envelope)
Fitting the crust it is possible to fulfill the T-t test …
…but not the second test: Log N – Log S !!!
(H. Grigorian astro-ph/0507052)
![Page 38: Isolated neutron stars: population synthesis and cooling curves Sergei Popov (Sternberg Astronomical Institute) Co-authors: D. Blaschke, H.Grigorian, B](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649d695503460f94a47464/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Sensitivity of Log N – Log S
Log N – Log S is very sensitive to gaps Log N – Log S is not sensitive to the crust if it is applied to
relatively old objects (>104-5 yrs) Log N – Log S is not very sensitive to presence or
absence of pions
We conclude that the two test complement each other
![Page 39: Isolated neutron stars: population synthesis and cooling curves Sergei Popov (Sternberg Astronomical Institute) Co-authors: D. Blaschke, H.Grigorian, B](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649d695503460f94a47464/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Mass constraint
• Mass spectrum has to be taken into account when discussing data on cooling• Rare masses should not be used to explain the cooling data• Most of data points on T-t plot should be explained by masses <1.4 Msun
In particular:• Vela and Geminga should not be very massive

Another attempt to test a set of models. Hybrid stars. Astronomy meets QCD
We studied several models for hybrid stars applying all possible tests: - T-t- Log N – Log S- Brightness constraint- Mass constraint
nucl-th/0512098
We also tried to present examples when a model successfully passesthe Log N – Log S test, but fails to pass the standard T-t test or fails tofulfill the mass constraint.

INSs and local surrounding
De Zeeuw et al. 1999 Motch et al. 2006
Massive star population in the Solar vicinity (up to 2 kpc) is dominated by OB associations. Inside 300-400 pc the Gould Belt is mostly important.

Where to search for more cowboys?
We do not expect to find more candidates at fluxes >0.1 cts/s.
Most of new candidates should be at fluxes 0.01< f < 0.1 cts/s.So, they are expected to be young NSs (<few 100 Mys) just outside the Belt.I.e., they should be in nearby OB associations and clusters.
Most probable candidates are Cyg OB7, Cam OB1, Cep OB2 and Cep OB3.Orion region can also be promising.

Detectability of close-byyoung NSs stronglyDepends on their agesand distance from the Sun.
A toy-model: a localsphere (R=300 pc)and a flat disk.
Rate of NS formationin the sphere is235 Myr-1 kpc-3
(26-27 NS in Myr inthe whole sphere).
Rate in the disc is10 Myr-1 kpc-2
(280 NS in Myr up to3 kpc).

More realistic age-dist. diagram
Initial distributionfrom Popov et al. 2005.
Spatial evolution is notfollowed.
For the line of “visibility”(solid line in the middle)I assume the limitingflux 10-12 erg s-1 cm-2 and masses are <1.35(Yakovlev et al. curves).
In 4.3 Myr in 1 kpc around the Sun 200 NSsare expected to be born.

Five curves correspond to1, 4 , 13, 20 and 100 NSs.

Resume
We live in a very interesting region of the Milky Way! Log N – Log S test can include NSs with unknown ages, so additional sources (like the Magnificent Seven) can be used to test cooling curves. Two tests (LogN–LogS and Age-Temperature) are
perfect together. Additional considerations (brightness and mass constraints) have to be taken into account. More detailed PS models are welcomed. Age-distance diagram can be used as an additional tool.

Radio detection
Malofeev et al. (2005) reported detection of 1RXS J1308.6+212708 (RBS 1223) in the low-frequency band (60-110 MHz) with the radio telescope in Pushchino.
In 2006 Malofeev et al. reported radio detectionof another one.
