Scientific paper

X-ray observations of old radio pulsars are used to derive a stringent bound on the average galactic flux of monopoles over the last million years. While numerically similar to previous bounds based on catalyzed nucleon decay in neutron stars, the present results appear to be more reliable. When the monopoles captured by the main sequence star progenitor are taken into account, the bound presented improves by approximately six orders of magnitude.
