Tracking Hidden Magnetospheric Fluctuations in Accretion-powered Pulsars With a Kalman Filter
X-ray flux and pulse period fluctuations in an accretion-powered pulsar convey important information about the disk–magnetosphere interaction. It is shown that simultaneous flux and period measurements can be analysed with a Kalman filter based on the standard magnetocentrifugal accretion torque to...
