A Proliferated Space Architecture for Time-Domain Astrophysics
Daniel Kocevski, Eric Burns, Thomas Barclay +58
Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM) is entering a discovery-rich but follow-up-limited era, creating an urgent need for responsive, multiwavelength space-based cap…
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.…
Detailed Timing, Spectral, and Polarimetric Analysis of Magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910
Rachael Stewart, George Younes, Alice Harding +5
We present a broadband timing, spectral, and polarimetric study of the magnetar 1RXS~J170849.0-400910 using XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and IXPE. The pulse morphology evolves strongly acro…
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…
Estimation of neutron star mass and radius of FRB 20240114A by identification of crustal oscillations
Hajime Sotani, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Cecilia Chirenti
By identifying quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) reported in FRB 20240114A (from the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) with neutron star crustal torsional oscillati…
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…
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…
