On the Population of Wind-Accreting Neutron Stars in the Galaxy
We explore the possibility that neutron stars accreting from the winds of main-sequence stellar companions account for a significant fraction of low-luminosity, hard X-ray sources (L_X <~ 10^35 ergs/s; 1-10 keV) in the Galaxy. This work was motivated by recent Chandra observations of the Gala...
