A NICER View of PSR J0030+0451: Evidence for a Global-scale Multipolar Magnetic Field

Recent modeling of Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer observations of thermal X-ray pulsations from the surface of the isolated millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451 suggests that the hot emitting regions on the pulsar's surface are far from antipodal, which is at odds with the classical as...
