Fig. 1: Gamma-ray orbital light curves of seven eclipsing spider pulsars.
From: Neutron star mass estimates from gamma-ray eclipses in spider millisecond pulsar binaries
The red dashed lines show the estimated background level. Phase 0 corresponds to the pulsar’s ascending node. The phase of the pulsar’s superior conjunction, where eclipses would be expected to occur, has been placed at the centre of a phase bin, and is shown at the centre of the plots for emphasis. Bin widths were chosen to be close to the best-fitting eclipse duration. Bin heights show the sum of the photon weights in each orbital phase bin, and error bars show the corresponding 1σ Poisson uncertainties.
