We present results of the spectral analysis of the X-ray emission from the middle-aged Fermi pulsar J1741 - 2054 using all Chandra archival data collected in 2010 and 2013 .
We confirm early findings by Romani et al .
2010 that the pulsar spectrum contains a thermal emission component .
The component is best described by the blackbody model with the temperature \approx 60 eV and the emitting area radius \approx 17 D _ { kpc } km .
The thermal emission likely originates from the entire surface of the cooling neutron star if the distance to the pulsar is \approx 0.8 kpc .
The latter is supported by a large absorbing column density inferred from the X-ray fit and empirical optical extinction–distance relations along the pulsar line of sight .
The neutron star surface temperature and characteristic age make it similar to the well studied middle-aged pulsar B1055 - 52 .
Like the latter PSR J1741 - 2054 is hotter than the standard cooling scenario predicts .
