Thermal Emission in the Quiescent Neutron Star SAX J1810.8-2609

We have observed the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary SAX J1810.8-2609 in quiescence with XMM-Newton. SAX J1810.8-2609 is one of the faintest non-pulsing neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries in quiescence and previously only had upper limits on its quiescent thermal emission. We found SAX J1810.8-...
