AbstractSXP 1062 is an exceptional case of a young neutron star in a wind-fed high-mass X-ray binary associated with a supernova remnant. A unique combination of measured spin period, its derivative, luminosity and young age makes this source a key probe for the physics of accretion and neutron star evolution. Theoretical models proposed to explain the properties of SXP 1062 shall be tested with new data.

AbstractIn order to understand the progenitor of rotation powered pulsars, we compare them with High-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsars, (or X-ray pulsars), in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The plot of period period vs. period derivative shows that isolated neutron stars could be evolved from HMXBs. The pulsars with long spin period might spin up to 0.001-1 s. The mechanism is a third-body interaction that detaches the donor, leaving an isolated, small period neutron star behind.

Aims. We present a comprehensive study on the supernova remnant (SNR) population of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We measured multiwavelength properties of the SMC SNRs and compare them to those of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) population. Methods. This study combines the large dataset of XMM-Newton observations of the SMC, archival and recent radio continuum observations, an optical line emission survey, and new optical spectroscopic observations. We were therefore able to build a complete and clean sample of 19 confirmed and four candidate SNRs. The homogeneous X-ray spectral analysis allowed us to search for SN ejecta and Fe K line emission, and to measure interstellar medium abundances. We estimated the ratio of core-collapse to type Ia supernova rates of the SMC based on the X-ray properties and the local stellar environment of each SNR. Results. After the removal of unconfirmed or misclassified objects, and the addition of two newly confirmed SNRs based on multi-wavelength features, we present a final list of 21 confirmed SNRs and two candidates. While no Fe K line is detected even for the brightest and youngest SNR, we find X-ray evidence of SN ejecta in 11 SNRs. We estimate a fraction of 0.62–0.92 core-collapse supernova for every supernova (90% confidence interval), higher than in the LMC. The difference can be ascribed to the absence of the enhanced star-formation episode in the SMC, which occurred in the LMC 0.5–1.5 Gyr ago. The hot-gas abundances of O, Ne, Mg, and Fe are 0.1–0.2 times solar. Their ratios, with respect to SMC stellar abundances, reflect the effects of dust depletion and partial dust destruction in SNR shocks. We find evidence that the ambient medium probed by SMC SNRs is less disturbed and less dense on average than in the LMC, consistent with the different morphologies of the two galaxies.

AbstractWe report ultraviolet and optical spectra of IE 0102-7219, the oxygen-rich supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The UV data contain strong lines of oxygen, carbon, neon, and magnesium. OI recombination lines in the optical and UV permit the relative line intensities to be determined from 1200Å to 1 micron. Models assuming shock excitation and X-ray photoionization have been calculated and compared with the observations.
