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…
On the Expected Orbitally-modulated TeV Signatures of Spider Binaries: The Effect of Intrabinary Shock Geometry
Christo Venter, Andreas Kopp, Zorawar Wadiasingh +2
'Spider' binary systems - black widow and redback compact binaries differentiated by their companion's mass and nature - are an important type of pulsar system exhibiting a rich em…
Towards Modelling AR Sco: Calibration -- Reproducing High-Energy Pulsar Emission and Testing Convergence to Aristotelian Electrodynamics
Louis Du Plessis, Christo Venter, Alice K. Harding +2
In recent years, kinetic simulations have been crucial to further our understanding of pulsar electrodynamics. Yet, due to the large-scale separation between the gyro-period vs the…
Very-High-Energy Emission From Pulsars
Alice K. Harding, Christo Venter, Constantinos Kalapotharakos
Air-Cherenkov telescopes have detected pulsations at energies above 50 GeV from a growing number of Fermi pulsars. These include the Crab, Vela, PSR B1706-44 and Geminga, with the…
Radio pulsations from the -ray millisecond pulsar PSR J2039-5617
A. Corongiu, R. P. Mignani, A. S. Seyffert +9
The predicted nature of the candidate redback pulsar 3FGL\,J2039.65618 was recently confirmed by the discovery of -ray millisecond pulsations (Clark et al. 2020, hereafter Pa…
Probing the pulsar population of Terzan 5 via spectral modeling
Hambeleleni Ndiyavala, Christo Venter, Tyrel J. Johnson +5
Terzan 5 is the only Galactic globular cluster that has plausibly been detected at very-high energies by the High Energy Stereoscopic System. It has an unexpectedly asymmetric very…
