X-ray variability of transitional millisecond pulsars: a faint, stable, and fluctuating disc

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) have emerged in the last decade as a unique class of neutron stars at the crossroads between accretion- and rotation-powered phenomena. In their (sub-luminous) accretion disc state, with X-ray luminosities of order 1033-1034 erg s-1, they switch rapidly betwe...
