Abstract (from CDS):

We model populations of isolated neutron stars in the Galaxy following their orbital and magnetorotational evolution. It is shown that accretors become more abundant than coolers at fluxes below ∼10–13 ergs.cm–2.s–1, and one can predict that about one accreting neutron star per square degree should be observed at the Chandra and Newton flux limits of ∼10–16 ergs.cm–2.s–1. The soft ROSAT sources associated with isolated neutron stars can be relatively young cooling objects only if the neutron star birthrate in the solar vicinity during the last ∼106 yr is higher than that inferred from radio pulsar observations.
