The nearest thermally emitting neutron stars offer some of the clearest clues to the true demography of neutron stars, and arguably the best prospects for measuring neutron-star radii. For both tasks, knowledge of their magnetic field strengths is essential, and hence we have been determining timing solutions with Chandra and XMM. The results show a surprisingly tight grouping of magnetic field strengths in a range intermediate between normal pulsars and magnetars, with a hint at an interaction between the thermal emission and magnetic field. For the two sources observed most recently, however, our analysis is limited by the time-span and gaps in the data. We request one short observations of each of those two sources to achieve much more accurate timing solutions.
