Notes. Column 1: interstellar absorption (×1022 atom cm−2); Cols. 2 and 3: black-body temperature or the power-law index (Γ) respectively; Col. 4: normalisation of the model (radius2(km)/distance2(10 kpc) for the black-body model or fraction of the neutron star surface emitting for the nsatmos model); Col. 5: radius of the emitting region in the case of the thermal models and for the nsatmos models assuming a neutron star radius of 10.6 km, or photons−1 keV−1 cm−2 s−1 at 1 keV for the power-law model and the goodness of fit measured using the C-statistic; Col. 6: number of degrees of freedom; Cols. 7 and 8: estimate of the un-absorbed and absorbed fluxes in the 0.2–10.0 keV band (×10−14 erg cm−2 s−1), respectively. All the errors are given for 90% confidence for one interesting parameter. For the fluxes, the errors are for 68% confidence. No error bars on a fittable parameter implies that the value for that parameter was fixed to the displayed value.

(*)

nsatmos model, mass = 1.54 M, distance = 1.07 kpc and 7.4 < radius < 30 km (90% range).

(z)

nsatmos model, mass = 1.54 M, distance = 1.07 kpc and radius = 10.6 km (see Sect. 4).

(y)

nsatmos model, mass = 1.54 M, distance = 1.07 kpc and radius = 10.6 km and normalisation of 0.075 (the area corresponding to the classical radius of this neutron star, see Sect. 4).
