Constraints on Compact Star Parameters from Burst Oscillation Light Curves of the Accreting Millisecond Pulsar Xte J1814-338
Detailed modeling of the millisecond brightness oscillations from low mass X-ray binaries during thermonuclear bursts can provide us with important information about compact star parameters. Until now the implementation of this idea has not been entirely successful, largely because of the negligible amount of harmonic content in burst oscillation lightcurves. However, the recent discovery of un...
متن کاملConstraints on Neutron Star Parameters from Burst Oscillation Light Curves of the Accreting Millisecond Pulsar Xte J1814-338
Detailed modeling of the millisecond brightness oscillations during thermonuclear bursts from low mass X-ray binaries can provide important information about neutron star structure. Until now the implementation of this idea has not been entirely successful, largely because of the negligible harmonic content in burst oscillation lightcurves. However, the recent discovery of non-sinusoidal burst ...
متن کاملPulsar Simulations for the Fermi Large Area Telescope
Pulsars are among the prime targets for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the recently launched Fermi observatory. The LAT will study the gamma-ray Universe between 20 MeV and 300 GeV with unprecedented detail. Increasing numbers of gamma-ray pulsars are being firmly identified, yet their emission mechanisms are far from being understood. To better investigate and exploit the LAT capabiliti...
متن کاملPulsar Sensitivity Studies of the GLAST Large Area Telescope
In this contribution we present our preliminary investigation on pulsar sensitivity of the Large Area Telescope, the main instrument aboard the GLAST mission. In particular we concentrated our attention to pulsars located at low galactic latitudes. We created a set of simulated pulsars having different fluxes in an array of galactic coordinates separated by a distance greater than the LAT Point...
متن کامل3 Ultraviolet Emission from the Millisecond Pulsar J 0437 − 4715 1
We observed PSR J0437−4715 with the FUV-MAMA detector of the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrometer (STIS) to measure the pulsar’s spectrum and pulsations. For the first time, UV emission from a millisecond pulsar is detected. The measured flux, (2.0± 0.2)× 10 erg s cm in the 1150–1700 Å range, corresponds to the luminosity LFUV = (4.7 ± 0.5) × 10 27 erg s, for the distance of 140 pc and n...
