Scientific paper

We present the results of searches for EUV emission from neutron stars conducted with the EUVE Deep Survey and Scanner Telescopes. To date, 21 fields containing known neutron stars have been observed in the Lexan/Boron (40--190 angstrom) band. Of these, 11 fields were simultaneously observed in the Aluminum/Carbon (160-385 angstrom) band. Five neutron stars which have been detected in the EUV have been reported previously; no new detections have been made in the studies reported here. For those sources not detected, we have used the observations to obtain limits on the spectral flux from the neutron stars in these bands. We provide means to convert these fluxes into intrinsic source fluxes for black-body and power law spectra for varying levels of absorption by the interstellar medium.
