EUVE Observations of the Middle-Aged Pulsar PSR 0656+14
Abstract
The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) observed the middle-aged pulsar PSR 0656+14 for ~ 80 ksec in 1993 February. While the exposure was not deep enough to detect PSR 0656+14 in the short wavelength (SW) band of the spectrometer the pulsar was detected in the Deep Survey (DS) photometer. The flux from the DS photometer is used to constrain the parameters N_H, the equivalent neutral hydrogen column density, and T_S, the surface temperature of the neutron star. Results are compared to previous measurements from other experimants.
