Abstract

Pulsars—rotating neutron stars—offer powerful insights into stellar evolution, extreme matter, and feedback processes in galaxies. In this talk, I will present my research on compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) and their interactions with the interstellar medium (ISM) across diverse galactic environments. Using a multi-mission approach with data from Chandra, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR, I employ high-resolution spectral and timing techniques to study pulsar spin evolution, accretion physics, and ISM absorption diagnostics.

 

Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
