Pulse profile modelling of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 using NICER data from its 2019 and 2022 outbursts
Bas Dorsman, Tuomo Salmi, Anna L. Watts +5
Pulse profile modelling is a relativistic ray-tracing technique that has provided constraints on parameters, with a focus on mass and radius, of five rotation-powered millisecond p…
Science with the Ultraviolet Explorer (UVEX)
S. R. Kulkarni, Fiona A. Harrison, Brian W. Grefenstette +53
UVEX is a proposed medium class Explorer mission designed to provide crucial missing capabilities that will address objectives central to a broad range of modern astrophysics. The…
Dense Matter in Neutron Stars with eXTP
Ang Li, Anna L. Watts, Guobao Zhang +82
In this White Paper, we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars, explo…
Parameter constraints for accreting millisecond pulsars with synthetic NICER data
Bas Dorsman, Tuomo Salmi, Anna L. Watts +10
Pulse profile modelling (PPM) is a technique for inferring mass, radius and hotspot properties of millisecond pulsars. PPM is now regularly used for analysis of rotation-powered mi…
Atmospheric Effects on Neutron Star Parameter Constraints with NICER
Tuomo Salmi, Serena Vinciguerra, Devarshi Choudhury +7
We present an analysis of the effects of uncertainties in the atmosphere models on the radius, mass, and other neutron star parameter constraints for the NICER observations of rota…
Prospects of Gravitational Wave Follow-up Through a Wide-field Ultra-violet Satellite: a Dorado Case Study
Bas Dorsman, Geert Raaijmakers, S. Bradley Cenko +8
The detection of gravitational waves from binary neuron star merger GW170817 and electromagnetic counterparts GRB170817 and AT2017gfo kick-started the field of gravitational wave m…
