Measuring the Magnetic Dipole Moment and Magnetospheric Fluctuations of SXP 18.3 with a Kalman Filter

Measuring the Magnetic Dipole Moment and Magnetospheric Fluctuations of SXP 18.3 with a Kalman Filter

The magnetic dipole moment μ of an accretion-powered pulsar in magnetocentrifugal equilibrium cannot be inferred uniquely from time-averaged pulse period and aperiodic X-ray flux data, because the radiative efficiency η _0 of the accretion is unknown, as are the mass, radius, and distance of the sta...
