The Galactic Millisecond Pulsar Population: Implications for the Galactic Center Excess

Harrison Ploeg

The Galactic Center Excess (GCE) is an extended gamma-ray source in the central region of the Galaxy found in Fermi Large Area Telescope data. In recent years it has become apparen…

Millisecond Pulsars from Accretion Induced Collapse as the Origin of the Galactic Centre Gamma-ray Excess Signal

Anuj Gautam, Roland M. Crocker, Lilia Ferrario +4

Gamma-ray data from the Fermi-Large Area Telescope reveal an unexplained, apparently diffuse, signal from the Galactic bulge that peaks near 2 GeV with an approximately spherical i…

The effect of kick velocities on the spatial distribution of millisecond pulsars and implications for the Galactic center excess

Harrison Ploeg, Chris Gordon

Recently it has become apparent that the Galactic center excess (GCE) is spatially correlated with the stellar distribution in the Galactic bulge. This has given extra motivation f…

Comparing the Galactic Bulge and Galactic Disk Millisecond Pulsars

Harrison Ploeg, Chris Gordon, Roland Crocker +1

The Galactic Center Excess (GCE) is an extended gamma-ray source in the central region of the Galaxy found in Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) data. One of the leading explan…

Maximum Entropy Estimation of the Galactic Bulge Morphology via the VVV Red Clump

Brenna Coleman, Dylan Paterson, Chris Gordon +2

The abundance and narrow magnitude dispersion of Red Clump (RC) stars make them a popular candidate for mapping the morphology of the bulge region of the Milky Way. Using an estima…

Consistency Between the Luminosity Function of Resolved Millisecond Pulsars and the Galactic Center Excess

Harrison Ploeg, Chris Gordon, Roland Crocker +1

Fermi Large Area Telescope data reveal an excess of GeV gamma rays from the direction of the Galactic Center and bulge. Several explanations have been proposed for this excess incl…
