Since the last phase coherent timing solution of the nearby radio-quiet isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 six new XMM-Newton and three Chandra observations were carried out. The phase coherent timing solutions from previous authors were performed without restricting to a fixed energy band. However, we recently showed that the phase residuals are energy dependent, and thus phase coherent solutions must be computed referring always to the same energy band. We updated the phase coherent timing solution for RX J0720.4-3125 by including the recent XMM-Newton EPIC-pn, MOS1, MOS2 and Chandra ACIS data in the energy range 400-1000~eV. Altogether these observations cover a time span of almost 10~yrs. A further timing solution was obtained including the ROSAT pointed data. In this case, observations cover a time span of $approx$16~yrs. To illustrate the timing differences between the soft band (120-400~eV) and the hard band (400-1000~eV) a timing solution for the soft band is also presented and the results are verified using a $mathrm{Z_{n}^{2}}$ test. In contrast to previous work, we obtain almost identical solutions whether or not we include the ROSAT or Chandra data. Thanks to the restriction to the hard band, the data points from EPIC-pn are in better agreement with those from MOS1, MOS2 and Chandra than in previous works. In general the phase residuals are still large and vary with time. In particular, the latest XMM-Newton and Chandra data show that the phase residuals have attained relatively large and negative values.
We present a combined analysis of XMM-Newton, Chandra and Rosat observations of the isolated neutron star RXJ0720.4-3125, spanning a total period of sim 7 years. We develop a maximum likelihood periodogramme for our analysis based on the Delta C-stat

In the past, the isolated, radio-quiet neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 showed variations in the spectral parameters (apparent radius, temperature of the emitting area and equivalent width of the absorption feature) seen in the X-ray spectra, not only du
RX J0720.4-3125 is an isolated neutron star that, uniquely in its class, has shown changes in its thermal X-ray spectrum. We use new spectra taken with Chandras Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer, as well as archival observations, to try to
We present the discovery of a strongly phase-variable absorption feature in the X-ray spectrum of the nearby, thermally-emitting, isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125. The absorption line was detected performing detailed phase-resolved spectroscopy
