A Measurement of the Galactic Plane Mass Density from Binary Pulsar Accelerations
, 2021 We use compiled high-precision pulsar timing measurements to directly measure the Galactic acceleration of binary pulsars relative to the solar system barycenter. Given the vertical accelerations, we use the Poisson equation to derive the Oort limit, i.e.

The Green Bank North Celestial Cap Survey. VIII. 21 New Pulsar Timing Solutions
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present timing solutions for 21 pulsars discovered in 350 MHz surveys using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). All were discovered in the Green Bank North Celestial Cap pulsar survey, with the exception of PSR J0957−0619, which was found in the GBT 350 ...

Binary pulsar constraints on massless scalar–tensor theories using Bayesian statistics [PDF]
Classical and quantum gravity, 2019 Binary pulsars provide some of the tightest current constraints on modified theories of gravity and these constraints will only get tighter as radio astronomers continue timing these systems.

Study of recent outburst in the Be/X-ray binary RX J0209.6−7427 with AstroSat: a new ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the Magellanic Bridge? [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We present the timing and spectral studies of RX J0209.6–7427 during its rare 2019 outburst using observations with the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) and Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) instruments on the AstroSat satellite.
