Scientific paper

The Wide-Field X-ray Telescope (WFXT) is a proposed NASA mission dedicated to performing surveys of the sky in the soft X-ray band (0.3-6 keV). The key characteristics of this missions are a constant point spread function with Half Energy Width of ~5 arcsec over a ~1 degree field of view as well as an effective area ~10 times larger than the one of Chandra. Despite the fact that the mission is tailored for extragalactic purposes, we show here that extremely interesting results can also be obtained on the study of neutron stars.
