Potential cooling of an accretion-heated neutron star crust in the low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.9-342058

We have monitored the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.9−342058 in quiescence after its ∼4.5 month outburst in 2015. The source has been observed using Swift and XMM–Newton. Its X-ray spectra were dominated by a thermal component. The thermal evolution showed a gradual X-ray...
