Rotating Neutron Stars with Dark Matter Halos
Shafayat Shawqi, Andreas Konstantinou, Sharon M. Morsink
If dark matter (DM) exists in halos around rotating neutron stars (NSs), it will be essential to understand the effects of rotation on the distribution of DM and baryonic matter (B…
The Radius of PSR J0437-4715 from NICER Data
M. C. Miller, A. J. Dittmann, I. M. Holt +12
Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) data have been used to estimate the masses and radii of the rotation-powered millisecond pulsars PSR J00300451, PSR J074066…
Gravitational Redshift for Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars
Zsombor Jakab, Sharon Morsink
The Oblate Schwarzschild (OS) approximation is a method often used to compute the flux of X-rays emitted from a rapidly rotating neutron star. In this approximation, the oblate sha…
A NICER View of PSR J12311411: A Complex Case
Tuomo Salmi, Julia S. Deneva, Paul S. Ray +16
Recent constraints on neutron star mass and radius have advanced our understanding of the equation of state (EOS) of cold dense matter. Some of them have been obtained by modeling…
Exploring Waveform Variations among Neutron Star Ray-tracing Codes for Complex Emission Geometries
Devarshi Choudhury, Anna L. Watts, Alexander J. Dittmann +8
Pulse Profile Modeling (PPM), the technique used to infer mass, radius and geometric parameters for rotation-powered millisecond pulsars using data from the Neutron Star Interior C…
The Radius of the High-mass Pulsar PSR J0740+6620 with 3.6 yr of NICER Data
Tuomo Salmi, Devarshi Choudhury, Yves Kini +14
We report an updated analysis of the radius, mass, and heated surface regions of the massive pulsar PSR J0740+6620 using Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) data fro…
