TESTING THEORIES OF GRAVITATION USING 21-YEAR TIMING OF PULSAR BINARY J1713+0747 [PDF]
We report 21-year timing of one of the most precise pulsars: PSR J1713+0747. Its pulse times of arrival are well modeled by a comprehensive pulsar binary model including its three-dimensional orbit and a noise model that incorporates short- and long ...

The Role of XMM–Newton in the Investigation of Persistent BeXRBs
ABSTRACT The persistent BeXRBs are a class of high‐mass X‐ray binaries (HMXRBs), which are characterized by persistent low X‐ray luminosities (LX~1034$$ {L}_{\mathrm{X}}\sim {10}^{34} $$ erg s −1$$ {}^{-1} $$) and wide (Porb>$$ {P}_{\mathrm{orb}}> $$ 30 days), almost circular orbits. In these sources the NS is slowly rotating (with Pspin$$ {P}_{\mathrm{

COBIPLANE: A Systematic Search for Compact Binary Millisecond Pulsars at Low Galactic Latitudes
We present the main results obtained from the Compact Binary Pulsar Search in the Low-Latitude Neighborhood, an optical photometric survey designed to find new “spider” binary millisecond pulsars.

Orbital modulation of emission of the binary pulsar J0737-3039B
In binary radio pulsar system J0737-3039, slow pulsar B shows orbital modulations of intensity, being especially bright at two short orbital phases. We propose that these modulations are due to distortion of pulsar B magnetosphere by pulsar A wind which ...

IDENTIFICATION OF THE HIGH-ENERGY GAMMA-RAY SOURCE 3FGL J1544.6–1125 AS A TRANSITIONAL MILLISECOND PULSAR BINARY IN AN ACCRETING STATE [PDF]
We present X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical observations of 1RXS J154439.4–112820, the most probable counterpart of the unassociated Fermi-LAT source 3FGL J1544.6–1125.

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

A Brief, Biased View of Neutron Star Cooling
ABSTRACT This is a concise and non‐technical review of topics related to neutron star (NS) cooling, for both young NSs and NSs in low‐mass x‐ray binaries. Neutrino emission from the NS core drives cooling rates, via different processes including Urca processes and pair breaking and formation at the neutron superfluid critical temperature.

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.
