Abstract
The magnetic field of the Neutron Star in Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients can be a powerful discriminator between different accretion models invoking accretion from a clumpy stellar wind, mechanisms regulating accretion onto the NS like the propeller effect or magnetic gating. The proposed simultaneous NuSTAR (80 ks) and NICER (20 ks) observations would aim to estimate the magnetic field of the NS in IGR J16418-4532 and carry out broadband analysis of the X-ray flares in the system.
