XMM-Newton observation of the very old pulsar J0108-1431

We report on an X-ray observation of the 166 Myr old radio pulsar J0108–1431 with XMM-Newton. The X-ray spectrum can be described by a power-law model with a relatively steep photon index Γ ≈ 3 or by a combination of thermal and non-thermal components, e.g., a power-law component with fixed photon i...
