Neutron Star: Individual: Rx J1856.5-3754

Scientific paper

We present X-ray and optical studies of the ROSAT source RXJ1856.5-3754, a neutron star candidate. With recent optical observations of a potential optical counterpart to another X-ray source in the field and correcting the X-ray positions for two effects not taken into account before, we determine the ROSAT X-ray source position and its error, both different from previous work. Also, we present deep optical imaging in B and V obtained with the ESO-MPI 2.2m telescope on La Silla and in B and R obtained with the Keck telescope.
