Additional information
The nature of Calvera has been a mystery for years, and this paper revelead it as a previously unknown kind of neutron star. This scientific result is based on the longest ever X-rays observation of the source, made using the XMM–Newton/EPIC twice for a total exposure time of ~50ks. These Xray data are awarded based on a peer review competition. I was the PI for the proposal, I have planned and been awarded the observations. I led the data analysis, wrote the paper, and in particular provided the original interpretation of Calvera as an orphan central compact object
