NICER observation list: Target ID 469402

Abstract

Observations of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (RMSPs) with NICER can be used to increasingly constrain the dense matter equation of state; to measure RMSP timing stability; and to study the X-ray emission mechanism and magnetic field geometry through radio/X-ray alignment and light curve modeling. NICER has discovered pulsations from 7 RMSPs, and re-detected pulsations from 9 others. Toward the goal of completing the census of X-ray RMSPs and thus expanding the dataset for these studies, we propose NICER pulsation searches in 3 RMSPs with X-ray counterparts. Among RMSPs with unpulsed X-ray counterparts, these 3 sources have the brightest X-ray fluxes (excluding Black Widows and Redbacks), making them the best targets for NICER pulsation searches in the RMSP sample.
