A Revised Parallax and Its Implications for RX J185635−3754
Open accessAbstract
New astrometric analysis of four Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images of the isolated neutron star RX J185635-3754 shows that its distance is 117 ± 12 pc, nearly double the originally published distance. We argue that the star's birthplace was in the Upper Scorpius association but that a connection with ζ Ophiuchi is now unlikely. Assuming birth in Upper Sco, the revised distance yields an age of 5 × 10 5 yr and a space velocity of about 185 km s -1 . The radiation radius inferred from fitting the full spectral energy distribution lies between 12 and 26 km, with a best fit R ∞ = 16.4 ± 0.3 km for a two-blackbody model. These radii are in the range of many equations of state, both with and without exotic matter, and remove the observational support for an extremely soft equation of state.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
