The Emission Physics of Millisecond Pulsars. (arXiv:2101.05751v1 [astro-ph.HE]) <a href="http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Harding_A/0/1/0/all/0/1">Alice K. Harding</a> Understanding the physics of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) presents a number of challenges compared to that of the non-recycled pulsar population. Even though their fast rotation rates can produce high spin-down power and accelerating electric fields, their relatively low surface magnetic fields make […]

We extend the stochastic-$deltamathcal{N}$ formalism to the ultra-slow-roll regime and show how this system can be solved […]

Simulations show that in steady state, thermal advection from the hot phase balances radiative cooling. However, many features are puzzling. For instance, […]
