Scientific paper

We propose to observe the nearby, high magnetic field radio pulsars PSRs B1916+14 and B1845-19 in order to search for thermal emission from their surface. Models of thermal emission from neutron stars predict that these pulsars can have detectable emission arising from cooling of their interior or decay of their magnetic field. The pulsars are located at distances less than 2 kpc and in regions of low interstellar absorption, offering us a rare opportunity to place strong constraints on the presence of any anomalous thermal X-ray emission from possible radio pulsar/magnetar transition objects.
