We outline the criteria adopted for the selection of our sample, its completeness, and critically describe different approaches to estimate the spectral shape and flux of pulsars. We perform a systematic modelling of the pulsars' X-ray spectra using archival observations with XMM-Newton, Chandra, and NuSTAR and extract the corresponding non-thermal X-ray spectral distributions. This set of data is made available online and is useful to confront with predictions of theoretical models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-09T10:28:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-thermal x-ray emission", "gamma-ray pulsars", "corresponding non-thermal x-ray spectral distributions", "second fermi-lat catalogue", "detailed spectral characterization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
