Chandra Proposal Id #06500479

Scientific paper

We propose to take advantage of the excellent imaging performance of Chandra to measure the proper motions of two X-ray "dim" isolated neutron stars discovered by ROSAT and lacking optical identification. We shall obtain discriminating information on the X-ray powering mechanism and if proper motion is detected, shall constrain their space velocity and place of birth. This proposal is the "second epoch" part of a project started in Chandra Cycle 3 by our group.
