Abstract: There are point-like sources in central regions of several supernova remnants which have not been detected outside the X-ray range. The X-ray spectra of these Central Compact Objects (CCOs) have thermal components with blackbody temperatures of 0.2-0.5 keV and characteristic sizes of 0.3-3 km. Most likely, the CCOs are neutron stars born in supernova explosions. We overview their observational properties, emphasizing the Chandra data, and compare them with magnetars.
