The nearest thermally emitting neutron stars may be the best sample to measure the true demographics of neutron stars, and arguably offer the best prospects for measuring neutron star radii through thermal emission. But these tasks are complicated by our lack of knowledge about their magnetic field strengths and ages. Recently, we have determined these for two objects using dedicated X-ray timing observations: by measuring spin-down and assuming a dipole field, we find magnetic fields between normal pulsars and magnetars. We propose to complete this sample with timing observations of the three remaining objects in this class that show periodicities: RX J0420.0-5022, RX J0806.4-4123, and RX J2143.0+0654.
