Scientific paper

Middle-aged pulsars (about 100-500 kyr) provide the opportunity to study the thermal radiation from neutron stars (NSs). X-ray observations of these objects, combined with the NS cooling models, can constrain the nature of the superfluid NS interior, the composition of the stellar core, the processes responsible for the NS cooling, and the NS mass and radius. However, thermal radiation has been definitively detected from only few middle-aged pulsars so far. We propose to observe three nearby middle-aged pulsars discovered recently in the Parkes Survey. These observations will allow us to measure the spectral parameters and study the thermal component of the pulsars radiation to constrain the NS thermal evolution models.
