Population of close-by young NSs n Magnificent seven n Geminga and 3 EG J 1853+5918 n Four radio pulsars with thermal emission (B 0833 -45; B 0656+14; B 1055 -52; B 1929+10) n Seven older radio pulsars, without detected thermal emission. We need population synthesis studies of this population
Population synthesis: ingredients n Birth rate n Initial spatial distribution n Spatial velocity (kick) n Mass spectrum n Thermal evolution n Interstellar absorption n Detector properties A brief review on population synthesis in astrophysics can be found in astro-ph/04011792
Solar vicinity n Solar neighborhood is not a typical n n n region of our Galaxy Gould Belt R=300 -500 pc Age: 30 -50 Myrs 20 -30 SN per Myr (Grenier 2000) The Local Bubble Up to six SN in a few Myrs
The Gould Belt n Poppel (1997) n R=300 – 500 pc n Age 30 -50 Myrs n Center at 150 pc from the Sun n Inclined respect to the galactic plane at 20 degrees n 2/3 massive stars in 600 pc belong to the Belt
Mass spectrum of NSs n Mass spectrum of local young NSs can be different from the general one (in the Galaxy) n Hipparcos data on nearby massive stars n Progenitor vs NS mass: Timmes et al. (1996); Woosley et al. (2002) astro-ph/0305599

List of models (Blaschke et al. 2004) Blaschke et al. used 16 sets of cooling curves. They were different in three main respects: 1. Absence or presence of pion condensate 2. Different gaps for superfluid protons and neutrons 3. Different Ts-Tin n Model I. n n n n Pions. Model II. No pions. Model III. Pions. Model IV. No pions. Model V. Pions. Model VI. No pions.

Resume n Magnificent Seven and other close-by NSs are genetically connected with the Gould Belt n Log N – Log S for close-by NSs can serve as a test for cooling curves n Two tests (Log. N–Log. S and Age-Temperature) are perfect together.
Black holes n Black holes are born from very massive progenitors n It is very difficult to observe as isolated BH: n n n Microlensing Weak accretion ……. ? n It is important to try to estimate at least approximate positions
Close-by BHs and runaway stars n 56 runaway stars inside 750 pc (Hoogerwerf et al. 2001) n Four of them have M > 30 Msolar Star Mass Velocity Age, km/s Myr ξ Per 33 65 1 HD 64760 ς Pup 25 -35 31 6 67 62 2 λ Cep 40 -65 74 4. 5 Prokhorov, Popov (2002)
Supernova explosion in a binary
ς Pup n Distance: 404 -519 pc n Velocity: 33 -58 km/s n Error box: 12 o x 12 o n NEGRET: 1
ξ Per n Distance: 537 -611 pc n Velocity: 19 -70 km/s n Error box: 7 o x 7 o n NEGRET: 1
Resume n Approximate positions of young close-by BHs can be estimated basing on data on massive runaway stars n For two cases we obtained relatively small error boxes n For HD 64760 and for λ Cep we obtained very large error boxes (40 -50 o) n Several EGRET sources inside
Final conclusions n We live in the region of the Galaxy enriched with n n young NSs and BHs NSs appear as radio pulsars, gamma and X-ray sources Local population teaches us that radio pulsars do not represent all young NSs Log N – Log S can be a good additional test for cooling curves of NSs Position of close-by isolated BHs can be roughly estimated for those originated from binary systems
