To date more than half a dozen X-ray dim isolated neutron stars are known. Their X-ray spectra are characterized by soft blackbody-like emission (kT about 50-120 eV) without indication for harder, non-thermal components. These stars apparently show no radio emission and no association with supernova remnants. Four of them exhibit pulsations in their X-ray flux with periods in the range of 8.39 s to 22.7 s. Similar pulse periods were found from AXPs, maybe suggesting evolutionary connections. In this talk I will review the recent observational results from X-ray dim isolated neutron obtained by the major X-ray observatories XMM-Newton and Chandra. Spectral and temporal characteristics, inferred luminosities and magnetic field strengths will be compared with those of AXPs.

  1. Hybrid stars among mass gap objects are excluded by twin stars at $1.4\,M_\odot$

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Mass-gap compact objects could be hybrid stars only with very early deconfinement and stiff quark matter; confirming 1.4 M⊙ twin stars would cap hybrid-star maximum mass below 2.2 M⊙.

  2. Hybrid stars among mass gap objects are excluded by twin stars at $1.4\,M_\odot$

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Bayesian analysis of generic hybrid EOS with first-order deconfinement shows mass-gap hybrids require early transition and stiff quark matter, but data favor twins at 1.4 M_sun that exclude them.
