Abstract

AbstractAn induced-collapse model [hereafter IC model; He et al. (1990)] can overcome the problems of the single star model of SN1987A. According to the IC model, there is a possibility that the SN1987A remnant will be a binary system with two neutron stars, one of them (SK-69 202) will have a strong magnetic field and a high surface temperature which favors detection as an X-ray or γ-ray pulsar. If the surface temperature of the neutron star cools down to T = 107 K, a radio binary pulsar is expected. There is also the possibility that an X-ray or γ-ray pulsar will be observed first, and only later will a radio pulsar will be detected.A newly formed neutron star is thought to have a short (millisecond) period. In this case, the core emission beam is then very large (Qiao 1992) and is thus very likely to swing in the direction of the Earth.
