PROPERTIES AND EVOLUTION OF THE REDBACK MILLISECOND PULSAR BINARY PSR J2129–0429 [PDF]
PSR J2129−0429 is a “redback” eclipsing millisecond pulsar binary with an unusually long 15.2 hr orbit. It was discovered by the Green Bank Telescope in a targeted search of unidentified Fermi gamma-ray sources.

Broad-band observations of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar RX J0440.9+4431: discovery of a cyclotron absorption line [PDF]
We report the results of an analysis of data obtained with the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL), Swift and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observatories during the 2010 April and September outbursts of the X-ray pulsar RX ...

Apparently Ultralong Period Radio Signals from Self-lensed Pulsar–Black Hole Binaries
Pulsar–black hole (BH) close binary systems, which have not been found yet, are unique laboratories for testing theories of gravity and understanding the formation channels of gravitational-wave sources.

PSR J2150+3427: A Possible Double Neutron Star System
PSR J2150+3427 is a 0.654 s pulsar discovered by the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey. From the follow-up observations, we find that the pulsar is in a highly eccentric orbit ( e = 0.601) with an orbital period of 10.592 days and a projected ...

A formation scenario for the triple pulsar PSR J0337+1715: breaking a binary system inside a common envelope [PDF]
We propose a scenario for the formation of the pulsar with two white dwarfs (WDs) triple system PSR J0337+1715. In our scenario a close binary system is tidally and frictionally destroyed inside the envelope of a massive star that later goes through an ...

Inferring the composition of super-Jupiter mass companions of pulsars with radio line spectroscopy
We propose using radio line spectroscopy to detect molecular absorption lines (such as OH at 1.6-1.7 GHz) before and after the total eclipse of black widow (BW) and other short orbital period binary pulsars with low mass companions. The companion in such

High-cadence Timing of Binary Pulsars with CHIME
We performed near-daily observations of the binary pulsars PSR J0218+4232, PSR J1518+4904, and PSR J2023+2853 with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME).

KECK SPECTROSCOPY OF MILLISECOND PULSAR J2215+5135: A MODERATE- MNS, HIGH-INCLINATION BINARY [PDF]
We present Keck spectroscopic measurements of the millisecond pulsar binary J2215+5135. These data indicate a neutron-star (NS) mass M NS = 1.6 M ⊙ ?> , much less than previously estimated.

Extended Emission from the PSR B1259-63/SS 2883 Binary Detected with Chandra
PSR B1259-63 is a middle-aged radio pulsar (P=48 ms, tau=330 kyr, Edot=8.3*10^{35} erg/s) in an eccentric binary (P_orb =3.4 yr, e=0.87) with a high-mass Be companion, SS 2883.

New Direct Observational Evidence for Kicks in SNe [PDF]
We present an updated list of direct strong evidence in favour of kicks being imparted to newborn neutron stars. In particular we discuss the new cases of evidence resulting from recent observations of the X-ray binary Circinus X-1 and the newly ...
