The Radius of the Neutron Star PSR J0614-3329 from NICER Data
M. C. Miller, A. J. Dittmann, I. M. Holt +14
Neutron star radius measurements, particularly using X-ray data collected with the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), have provided invaluable information for mode…
Multipolar Magnetic-Field Inference for PSR J0740+6620 with Neural-Network-Accelerated NICER Pulse-Profile Modeling
Farhana Taiyebah, Constantinos Kalapotharakos, Greg Olmschenk +6
We investigate the multipolar surface magnetic-field structure of the high-mass millisecond pulsar PSR J0740+6620 using the 32-bin bolometric NICER pulse profile of Dittmann et al.…
Magnetar Fireballs and Short Bursts: Curved Spacetime Lensing, QED Effects, Spectra, Polarization, and Impulse Responses
Zorawar Wadiasingh, Hoa Dinh Thi, Constantinos Kalapotharakos +12
Magnetar short bursts (SBs) are hard X-ray transients of durations s peaking at keV, and are prime targets for new high-energy missions and polarimeters. The…
The swept-back multipolar magnetic field of neutron stars: Application to NICER MSP J0030+0451
Anu Kundu, Constantinos Kalapotharakos, Zorawar Wadiasingh +5
NICER observations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) suggest that non-dipolar magnetic fields are required to explain their surface X-ray hotspots. C. Kalapotharakos et al. modeled the…
Accelerating Posterior Inference from Pulsar Light Curves via Learned Latent Representations and Local Simulator-Guided Optimization
Farhana Taiyebah, Abu Bucker Siddik, Indronil Bhattacharjee +4
Posterior inference from pulsar observations in the form of light curves is commonly performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, which are accurate but computationally expens…
A Comprehensive Interpretation of Fermi-LAT Pulsars: Fundamental-Plane Death Border, Visibility Thresholds, and GeV-TeV Unification
Constantinos Kalapotharakos, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Alice K. Harding +2
We present a framework that links equatorial-current-sheet (ECS) physics to catalog-level, phase-averaged gamma-ray pulsar properties. Guided by analytic scalings and particle-in-c…
