Binaries comprised of a neutron star (NS) and a black hole (BH) have so far eluded
observations as pulsars and with gravitational waves (GWs). We model the formation and …

The discovery of a radioactively powered kilonova associated with the binary neutron-star
merger GW170817 remains the only confirmed electromagnetic counterpart to a …

While binary pulsar systems are fantastic laboratories for a wide array of astrophysics, they
are particularly difficult to detect. The orbital motion of the pulsar changes its apparent spin …

The pulsar PSR J1756− 2251 resides in a relativistic double neutron star binary system with
a 7.67-h orbit. We have conducted long-term precision timing on more than 9 yr of data …

The brightest fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) are mysterious extragalactic explosions
that may represent a new astrophysical phenomenon. Their fast time to maximum brightness …

We have produced a new software package for the simulation of pulsar populations,
PsrPopPy, based on the Psrpop package. The codebase has been re-written in Python …

In a search with the Parkes radio telescope of 56 unidentified Fermi-Large Area Telescope
(LAT) gamma-ray sources, we have detected 11 millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 10 of them …

We present the Galactic merger rate for double neutron star (DNS) binaries using an
observed sample of eight DNS systems merging within a Hubble time. This sample includes …

We have implemented prescriptions for modelling pulsars in the rapid binary population
synthesis code Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics. We perform …

The anticipated discovery of a pulsar in orbit with a black hole is expected to provide a
unique laboratory for black hole physics and gravity. In this context, the next generation of …
