Abstract
Neutron stars are remnants of supernovae explosion of massive stars upto 20-40 Mʘ at the
time of their formation, neutron stars gain recoil kicks due to asymmetries that develops
during the core-collapse process. Neutron stars are classified as Radio Loud and Radio Quiet.
1E 161348-5055.1 is a radio quiet neutron star found in the Centre of RCW103 which is
Supernova Remnant (SNR) and is a periodic X-Ray with a period of 6.67 hours. This source
was discovered by the HEAO-2 (Einstein Observatory), which is the first fully imaging XRay
telescope. This source attracted interest due to the two main reasons. Firstly, its
periodicity of 6.67 hrs which is too long for star having age 2000 years, it is behaving like a
multi-million-year-old star. Secondly, the star becomes 50 times brighter in between October
1999 and January 2000. Astrophysicist put forward many theories to explain this
phenomenon. In present work, the author downloaded one archived data from XMM Newton
Mission and analyzed it as well as reviewed the works related to this source to understand
the nature of the neutron star 1E 161348-5055.1.
