The anatomy of γ-ray pulsar light curves
(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 ...
Calibration of statistical methods used to constrain pulsar geometries via multiband light curve modelling
(SAIP, 2016)
Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has detected over
200 γ-ray pulsars above 100 MeV. This population of pulsars is characterised by a rich diversity
of light curve morphologies. Researchers ...
Implementation of a goodness-of-fit test for finding optimal concurrent radio and γ-ray pulsar light curves
(SAIP, 2015)
Since the launch of the Fermi Large Area Telescope in 2008 the number of known
γ-ray pulsars has increased immensely to over 200, many of which are also visible in the
radio and X-ray bands. Seyffert et al. (2011) ...
Geometric modelling of radio and γ-ray light curves of 6 Fermi LAT pulsars
(Sissa Medialab, 2010)
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has recently reported the detection of pulsed γ-rays
from 6 young pulsars (J0631+1036, J0659+1414, J0742−2822, J1420−6048, J1509−5850, and
J1718−3825), all exhibiting single-peaked ...
Constraining viewing geometries of pulsars with single-peaked γ-ray profiles using a multiwavelength approach
(SAIP, 2011)
Since the launch of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi spacecraft
in June 2008, the number of observed γ-ray pulsars has increased dramatically. A large number
of these are also observed at radio frequencies. ...
Modelling the y-ray and radio light curves of the double pulsar system
(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 ...
