MSP binaries as astrophysical laboratories
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)
Follow-up of unidentified Fermi sources has expanded the number of known galactic-field “black widow” and “redback” millisecond pulsar binaries from four to nearly 30. Several systems observed by Chandra, XMM-Newton, Suzaku, ...
Pressure balance and intrabinary shock stability in rotation-powered-state redback and transitional millisecond pulsar binary systems
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
A number of low-mass millisecond pulsar (MSP) binaries in their rotation-powered state exhibit double-peaked X-ray orbital modulation centered at inferior pulsar conjunction. This state, which has been known to persist for ...
Multi-TeV emission from the Vela pulsar
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Pulsed emission from the Vela pulsar at energies above 3 TeV has recently been detected by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) Collaboration. We present a model for the broadband spectrum of Vela from infrared ...
New advances in pulsar magnetosphere modelling
(Sissa Medialab, 2016)
The wealth of high-energy (E &50MeV) and very-high-energy (E >100 GeV) data accumulated
over the past few years have provided unprecedented opportunities to probe pulsar emission models.
The Fermi Large Area Telescope ...
Gamma‐ray pulsar visibility
(AIP, 2005)
PSR J0437‐4715 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) thought to be “pair formation starved” (having limited pair cascades due to magnetic photon absorption). Fortunately the general relativistic (GR) electrodynamical model under ...
Identifying the brightest Galactic globular clusters for future observations by H.E.S.S. and CTA
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018)
We present results from an emission code that assumes millisecond pulsars to be sources
of relativistic particles in globular clusters (GCs) and models the resulting spectral energy
distribution of Galactic GCs due to ...
High-energy emission from Black Widows and Redbacks
(Sissa Medialab, 2015)
A large number of new black widow and redback energetic millisecond pulsars with irradiated
stellar companions have been discovered through radio searches of unidentified Fermi sources.
We construct a 3D emission model ...
The aid of optical studies in understanding millisecond pulsar binaries
(Sissa Medialab, 2016)
A large number of new “black widow” and “redback” energetic millisecond pulsars with irradiated stellar companions have been discovered through radio and optical searches of unidentified
Fermi sources. Synchrotron emission, ...
Pulsations from the Vela pulsar down to 20 GeV with H.E.S.S. II
(Sissa Medialab, 2015)
The Vela pulsar (PSR J0835 − 4510) is the brightest persistent source in the high-energy γ-ray
sky. It is a relatively near, young and energetic rotation-powered pulsar. Vela was a key target for
the High Energy Stereoscopic ...
Spectral modelling of a H.E.S.S.-detected pulsar wind nebula
(SAIP, 2015)
In the last decade ground-based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes have
discovered roughly 30 pulsar wind nebulae at energies above 100 GeV. We present first results
from a leptonic emission code that models the ...
