Temporal Memory in Repeating Fast Radio Bursts: Epsilon-Machine Reconstruction of Causal Structure in Burst Timing

Tom Kimpson, Joseph O'Leary

The emission mechanism of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains unknown. Whether the bursts from a repeating FRB arrive at random or in a structured sequence is a key constraint on that…

Discovering pulsars in compact binaries with a hidden Markov model

Joseph O'Leary, Liam Dunn, Andrew Melatos

Discovering radio pulsars in compact binaries, whose orbital periods satisfy , is computationally challenging, because the time-depend…

Is there a retrograde accretion disk around 4U 162667? Tracking torque reversals with a state-space model

Joseph O'Leary, Andrew Melatos, Tom Kimpson +5

X-ray timing studies of the persistent, Galactic, accretion-powered pulsar 4U 162667 reveal torque reversals, during which the pulse frequency alternates between multiyea…

Measuring the magnetic dipole moment and magnetospheric fluctuations of accretion-powered pulsars in the Small Magellanic Cloud with an unscented Kalman filter

Joseph O'Leary, Andrew Melatos, Tom Kimpson +5

Many accretion-powered pulsars rotate in magnetocentrifugal disequilibrium, spinning up or down secularly over multi-year intervals. The magnetic dipole moment of such systems…

Measuring the magnetic dipole moment and magnetospheric fluctuations of SXP 18.3 with a Kalman filter

J. O'Leary, A. Melatos, N. J. O'Neill +4

The magnetic dipole moment of an accretion-powered pulsar in magnetocentrifugal equilibrium cannot be inferred uniquely from time-averaged pulse period and aperiodic X-ray flux…
