The effect of different magnetospheric structures on predictions of gamma-ray pulsar light curves
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)The field of -ray pulsars has been revolutionised by the launch of the Fermi Large Area Telescope, increasing the population from 7 to 161 detected pulsars. The light curves of these y-ray pulsars exhibit a variety of ... -
Modelling pulsar emission in the high-energy and very-high-energy regimes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The Fermi Large Area Telescope has revolutionised the γ-ray pulsar field, increasing the population to over 250 detected pulsars. The majority display spectra with exponential cutoffs in a narrow range around a few GeV. ... -
A search for optical counterparts of the complex Vela X system
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2012)The pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the Vela pulsar, Vela X, is a complex system visible in radio, X-ray and y-ray wavelengths, but not in the optical wavelength. Knowledge of the brightness and structure of the ... -
Spatially-dependent multi-wavelength modeling of pulsar wind nebulae
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2020)The next era of ground-based Cherenkov telescope development will see a great increase in both quantity and quality of γ-ray morphological data. This initiated the development of a spatio-temporal leptonic transport code ...
