Tracking hidden magnetospheric fluctuations in accretion-powered pulsars with a Kalman filter

A. Melatos, N. J. O'Neill, P. M. Meyers +1

X-ray flux and pulse period fluctuations in an accretion-powered pulsar convey important information about the disk-magnetosphere interaction. It is shown that simultaneous flux an…

Rapid parameter estimation of a two-component neutron star model with spin wandering using a Kalman filter

Patrick M. Meyers, Nicholas J. O'Neill, Andrew Melatos +1

The classic, two-component, crust-superfluid model of a neutron star can be formulated as a noise-driven, linear dynamical system, in which the angular velocities of the crust and…

Parameter estimation of a two-component neutron star model with spin wandering

Patrick M. Meyers, Andrew Melatos, Nicholas J. O'Neill

It is an open challenge to estimate systematically the physical parameters of neutron star interiors from pulsar timing data while separating spin wandering intrinsic to the pulsar…
