Abstract
NICER is highly optimized for the study of X-ray emission from rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (RMSPs). The goal of this proposal is to fully exploit this capability by completing the census of RMSPs with NICER, giving us a uniform view of the population and expanding it if possible. Looking at the population as a whole will give us insight into the mechanisms driving the X-ray emission and the geometry of the magnetic fields and hot spots on the surface. To accomplish this we will observe the two MSPs with claimed X-ray pulsations that NICER has yet to confirm (PSRs B1957+21 and J1024-0719), as well as three MSPs that are promising targets for X-ray pulsations but have not yet been observed with NICER (PSRs J0101-6422, J0711-6830, and J0605+3757).
