    • The anatomy of γ-ray pulsar light curves 

      Seyffert, A.S.; Venter, C.; Johnson, T.J.; Harding, A.K. (South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
      To obtain constraints on the inclination and observer angles, <i>α</i> and <i>ζ</i>, of a <i>γ</i>-ray pulsar from its observed light curve (LC), we make use of geometric models detailing the position and extent of emission ...

    • The effect of different magnetospheric structures on predictions of gamma-ray pulsar light curves 

      Breed, M.; Venter, C.; Harding, A.K.; Johnson, T.J. (South African Institute of Physics, 2012)
      The second pulsar catalogue of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) will contain in excess of 100 gamma-ray pulsars. The light curves (LCs) of these pulsars exhibit a variety of shapes, and also different relative phase ...

    • Modelling the light curves of Fermi LAT millisecond pulsars 

      Venter, C.; Johnson, T.J.; Harding, A.K.; Grove, J.E. (South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
      There are 40 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the second pulsar catalogue of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). This pulsar subpopulation is unique owing to their relatively small magnetospheres. This may result in radio ...

    • Modelling the y-ray and radio light curves of the double pulsar system 

      Seyffert, A.S.; Venter, C.; Harding, A.K.; Johnson, T.J. (South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
      Guillemot et al. recently reported the discovery [1] of -ray pulsations from the 22.7 ms pulsar (pulsar A) in the famous double pulsar system J0737−3039A/B. The -ray light curve (LC) of pulsar A has two peaks separated ...
