In this review I describe the status of UVOIR observations of INSs, their emission properties, and I present the results from recent observations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-12-15T15:33:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "infrared observations", "high-magnetic field radio pulsars", "ultraviolet", "first isolated neutron star", "compact central objects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Advances in Space Research", "year": 2011, "month": "Apr", "volume": 47, "number": 8, "pages": 1281 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 840157, "adsabs": "2011AdSpR..47.1281M" } } }
