The Oblate Schwarzschild Approximation for Light Curves of Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars
Sharon M. Morsink, Denis A. Leahy, Coire Cadeau +1
We present a simple method for including the oblateness of a rapidly rotating neutron star when fitting X-ray light curves. In previous work we showed that the oblateness induced b…
Limits on Mass and Radius for the ms-Period X-ray Pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658
Denis A. Leahy, Sharon M. Morsink, Coire Cadeau
SAX J1808.4-3658 has a 2.5 millisecond neutron star rotation period and exhibits X-ray pulsations due to its rotating hot spot. Here we present an analysis of the pulse shapes of S…
Improved methods for modeling pulse shapes of accreting millisecond pulsars
D. Leahy, S. Morsink, C. Cadeau
Raytracing computations for light emitted from the surface of a rapidly rotating neutron star are carried out in order to construct light curves for accreting millisecond pulsars.…
Light Curves for Rapidly-Rotating Neutron Stars
Coire Cadeau, Sharon M. Morsink, Denis Leahy +1
We present raytracing computations for light emitted from the surface of a rapidly-rotating neutron star in order to construct light curves for X-ray pulsars and bursters. These ca…
Pulse Shapes From Rapidly-Rotating Neutron Stars: Equatorial Photon Orbits
Coire Cadeau, Denis A. Leahy, Sharon M. Morsink
We demonstrate that fitted values of stellar radius obtained by fitting theoretical light curves to observations of millisecond period X-ray pulsars can significantly depend on the…
New Five Dimensional Black Holes Classified by Horizon Geometry, and a Bianchi VI Braneworld
C. Cadeau, E. Woolgar
We introduce two new families of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant in 5 dimensions. These solutions are static black holes whose horizo…
