Scientific paper

The surface radiation emitted by a neutron star in SN 1987A is predicted, on the basis of the present neutron-star cooling models, to remain sufficiently strong to be easily detected by such future X-ray satellites as Rosat and AXAF over the course of the next 100 years. Surface radiation is projected, however, to have decreased below the detection limit of the Ginga X-ray satellite launched in February 1987. Looking beyond Ginga, it will be important to search with other X-ray satellites for thermal soft X-rays from SN 1987A.
