The zoo of isolated neutron stars

SB Popov - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
In this brief review, I summarize our basic knowledge about different types of isolated
neutron stars. I discuss radio pulsars, central compact objects in supernova remnants …

Neutron star–white dwarf binaries: probing formation pathways and natal kicks with LISA

V Korol, AP Igoshev, S Toonen… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Neutron star–white dwarf (NS+ WD) binaries offer a unique opportunity for studying NS-
specific phenomena with gravitational waves. In this paper, we employ the binary population …

On the initial spin period distribution of neutron stars

SS Du, XJ Liu, ZC Chen, ZQ You, XJ Zhu… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive the initial spin period distribution of neutron stars by studying the population of
young pulsars associated with supernova remnants. Our hierarchical Bayesian approach …

Anatomy of astrophysical echoes from axion dark matter

E Todarello, F Calore, M Regis - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
If the dark matter in the Universe is made of μeV axion-like particles (ALPs), then a rich
phenomenology can emerge in connection to their stimulated decay into two photons. We …

Back to the Starting Point: On the Simulation of the Initial Magnetic Fields and Spin Periods of Nonaccreting Pulsars

K Xu, HR Yang, YH Mao, XT Xu, XD Li… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Neutron stars (NSs) play essential roles in modern astrophysics. The magnetic fields and
spin periods of newborn (zero-age) NSs have a large impact on the further evolution of NSs …

A Flat-spectrum Radio Transient at 122 Mpc Consistent with an Emerging Pulsar Wind Nebula

DZ Dong, G Hallinan - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery and follow-up observations of VT 1137–0337, an unusual radio
transient found in our systematic search for extragalactic explosions in the Very Large Array …

Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae–I. Hydrodynamic evolution and protoneutron star properties

K Nakamura, T Takiwaki, J Matsumoto… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2025 - academic.oup.com
We present results from three-dimensional, magnetohydrodynamic, core-collapse
simulations of 16 progenitors following until 0.5 s after bounce. We use non-rotating solar …

Event Rate of Fast Radio Bursts from Binary Neutron Star Mergers

ZL Chen, RC Hu, DB Lin, EW Liang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
It is proposed that a one-off fast radio burst (FRB) with periodic structure may be produced
during the inspiral phase of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger. In this paper, we study the …

The rocket effect mechanism in neutron stars in supernova remnants

V Agalianou, KN Gourgouliatos - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
While the dipole magnetic field axis of neutron stars is usually postulated to cross the star's
centre, it may be displaced from this location, as it has been recently indicated in the …

Cannonball or Bowling Ball: Proper Motion and Parallax for PSR J0002+ 6216

S Bruzewski, FK Schinzel, GB Taylor… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the results of careful astrometric measurements of the cannonball pulsar J0002+
6216 carried out over 3 yr using the High Sensitivity Array. We significantly refine the proper …
