Parameter constraints for accreting millisecond pulsars with synthetic NICER data

Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Bas Dorsman, Tuomo Salmi, Anna L. Watts, Mason Ng, Satish Kamath | Summary: Pulse profile modelling (PPM) is a technique for inferring mass, radius and hotspot properties of millisecond pulsars. PPM is now regularly used for analysis of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (RMPs) with data from the Neutron […]
