The High-Energy Polarization-Limiting Radius of Neutron Star Magnetospheres II -- Magnetized Hydrogen Atmospheres
Jeremy S. Heyl, Don Lloyd, Nir J. Shaviv
In the presence of strong magnetic fields, the vacuum becomes a birefringent medium. We show that this QED effect couples the direction of the polarization of photons leaving the N…
A pulsar-atmosphere model for PSR 0656+14
D. A. Lloyd, R. Perna, P. Slane +2
We present a pulsar-atmosphere (PA) model for modulated thermal X-ray emission from cooling magnetized neutron stars. The model synthesizes the spectral properties of detailed stel…
Analysis of the Quiescent Low-Mass X-ray Binary Population in Galactic Globular Clusters
C. O. Heinke, J. E. Grindlay, P. M. Lugger +4
Quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs) containing neutron stars have been identified in several globular clusters using Chandra or XMM X-ray observations, using their soft ther…
A Chandra X-ray Study of the Globular Cluster M80
C. O. Heinke, J. E. Grindlay, P. D. Edmonds +4
We report our analysis of a Chandra X-ray observation of the rich globular cluster M80, in which we detect some 19 sources to a limiting 0.5-2.5 keV X-ray luminosity of 7*10^30 erg…
Model atmospheres and thermal spectra of magnetized neutron stars
D. A. Lloyd
Thermal surface radiation has been detected with X-ray instruments for several neutron stars with high spectral, spatial and timing resolution. These observations allow for direct…
A Chandra Study of the Dense Globular Cluster Terzan 5
C. O. Heinke, P. D. Edmonds, J. E. Grindlay +3
We report a Chandra ACIS-I observation of the dense globular cluster Terzan 5. The previously known transient low-mass x-ray binary (LMXB) EXO 1745-248 in the cluster entered a rar…
