A Dense Companion to the Short-period Millisecond Pulsar Binary PSR J0636+5128 [PDF]
PSR J0636+5128 is a millisecond pulsar in one of the most compact pulsar binaries known, with a 96 minute orbital period. The pulsar mass function suggests a very low mass companion, similar to that seen in so-called “black widow” binaries.

Exploring the Extra Component in the Gamma-ray Emission of the New Redback Candidate 3FGL J2039.6-5618 [PDF]
A redback system is a binary system composed of a pulsar and a main sequence star. The inverse Compton (IC) scattering between the stellar soft photons and the relativistic pulsar wind will generate orbital-modulating GeV photons.

Polarimetric evidence of a white dwarf pulsar in the binary system AR Scorpii [PDF]
The variable star AR Scorpii (AR Sco) was recently discovered to pulse in brightness every 1.97 min from ultraviolet wavelengths into the radio regime. The system is composed of a cool, low-mass star in a tight, 3.55-hour orbit with a more massive white ...

Testing the Binary Hypothesis: Pulsar Timing Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates [PDF]
The advent of time domain astronomy is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. Programs such as the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) or the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) surveyed millions of objects for several years, allowing ...

Populating the Galaxy with pulsars I: stellar & binary evolution
The computation of theoretical pulsar populations has been a major component of pulsar studies since the 1970s. However, the majority of pulsar population synthesis has only regarded isolated pulsar evolution.

High-energy Emissions from the Pulsar/Be Binary System PSR J2032+4127/MT91 213 [PDF]
PSR J2032+4127 is a radio-loud gamma-ray-emitting pulsar; it is orbiting around a high-mass Be type star with a very long orbital period of 25–50 years, and is approaching periastron, which will occur in late 2017/early 2018.

Furnishing the Galaxy with Pulsars
The majority of pulsar population synthesis studies performed to date have focused on isolated pulsar evolution. Those that have incorporated pulsar evolution within binary systems have tended to either treat binary evolution poorly of evolve the pulsar ...

Identifying Companions in Pulsar Binary Systems via Gaia Data
In the optical band, very few pulsars can be directly detected, but some of the pulsar binary companions can be observed. This study leverages high-precision astrometric data from Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) to identify pulsar companions in binary systems.
