Scientific paper

In the ROSAT Bright Survey (RBS) We have almost completely optically identified the brightest 2000 high galactic latitude sources from the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey Bright Source Catalogue (1RXS). A small number of sources has empty X-ray error boxes on the POSS plates. HRI follow-up observations of RBS 1223, a very soft object with extreme X-ray to optical flux ratio, confirm a relatively bright X-ray source with a 1.5 arcsec empty error box on the POSS II plate and CCD images. Chances are high that this is a new isolated neutron star (INS). We propose a 10 ksec observation with the AXAF ACIS-S BI in order to i) obtain a high-quality X-ray spectrum of the source, ii) improve its X-ray position and iii) look for X-ray pulsations.
