| Abstract: |
X-ray images of some young supernova remnants show bright point sources which have not been detected in radio, optical or gamma-ray bands. Despite the similarity of the X-ray spectra of these objects, they show a variety of temporal properties. Most likely, they are neutron stars whose properties (spin periods? magnetic fields? environments?) are different from those of radio and/or gamma-ray pulsars. We present an overview of observational results on several objects of this class - the central sources of Cassiopeia A, RX J0852-4622, RCW 103, Puppis A, and PKS 1209-51/52 - with emphasis on the recent Chandra observations. |
