Binary and millisecond pulsars

DR Lorimer - Living reviews in relativity, 2008 - Springer
We review the main properties, demographics and applications of binary and millisecond
radio pulsars. Our knowledge of these exciting objects has greatly increased in recent years …

Relativistic binaries in globular clusters

MJ Benacquista, JMB Downing - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2013 - Springer
Galactic globular clusters are old, dense star systems typically containing 10 4–10 6 stars.
As an old population of stars, globular clusters contain many collapsed and degenerate …

A pulsar in a binary with a compact object in the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes

ED Barr, A Dutta, PCC Freire, M Cadelano, T Gautam… - Science, 2024 - science.org
Some compact objects observed in gravitational wave events have masses in the gap
between known neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs). The nature of these mass gap …

Modeling dense star clusters in the milky way and beyond with the CMC cluster catalog

K Kremer, SY Claire, NZ Rui… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a set of 148 independent N-body simulations of globular clusters (GCs)
computed using the code CMC (Cluster Monte Carlo). At an age of∼ 10–13 Gyr, the …

Birth and evolution of isolated radio pulsars

CA Faucher-Giguere, VM Kaspi - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the birth and evolution of Galactic isolated radio pulsars. We begin by
estimating their birth space velocity distribution from proper-motion measurements of …

Celestial-body focused dark matter annihilation throughout the galaxy

RK Leane, T Linden, P Mukhopadhyay, N Toro - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Indirect detection experiments typically measure the flux of annihilating dark matter (DM)
particles propagating freely through galactic halos. We consider a new scenario where …

Innovations in the analysis of Chandra-ACIS observations

PS Broos, LK Townsley, ED Feigelson… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
As members of the instrument team for the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and as Chandra General Observers, we have …

A hydrogen atmosphere spectral model applied to the neutron star X7 in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae

CO Heinke, GB Rybicki, R Narayan… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Current X-ray missions are providing high-quality X-ray spectra from neutron stars (NSs) in
quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs). This has motivated us to calculate new …

Formation and evolution of compact binaries in globular clusters–II. Binaries with neutron stars

N Ivanova, CO Heinke, FA Rasio… - Monthly Notices of …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, the second of a series, we study the stellar dynamical and evolutionary
processes leading to the formation of compact binaries containing neutron stars (NSs) in …

Long-term observations of the pulsars in 47 Tucanae–II. Proper motions, accelerations and jerks

PCC Freire, A Ridolfi, M Kramer… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
This paper is the second in a series where we report the results of the long-term timing of the
millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in 47 Tucanae with the Parkes 64-m radio telescope. We obtain …
