Constraining the emission geometry and mass of the white Dwarf Pulsar AR Sco
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Marsh et al. (2016) detected radio and optical pulsations from the binary system AR Scorpii (AR Sco). This system, with an orbital period of 3.55 h, is composed of a cool, low-mass M-dwarf and a white dwarf with a spin ... -
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. ... -
Orbitally-modulated X-ray and Gamma-ray Emission from Millisecond Pulsar Binaries
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)In the 11 years since its launch, the Fermi Large Area Telescope has yielded a large number of new detections. Among these new detections are about 30 black widow and redback systems. These sources are compact binaries in ... -
Statistical methods for constraining pulsar geometries via multiband light curve fitting
(North-West University, 2018)The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a high-energy satellite that operates in the Me V to Ge V band. Fermi has revolutionised pulsar physics by its clear detection of more than 200 of these objects in 1-rays. Since its ... -
An unbiased statistic for pulsar parameter estimation via dual-band light curve fitting
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The wealth of multiwavelength pulsar data has stimulated the development of emission models that predict light curves (LCs) over multiple wavebands, most notably radio and gamma-ray. Using established statistical methods to ...
