Gravity experiments with radio pulsars
Living Reviews in RelativityThe discovery of the first pulsar in a binary star system, the Hulse–Taylor pulsar, 50 years ago opened up an entirely new field of experimental gravity.

The Major Role of Eccentricity in the Evolution of Colliding Pulsar-Stellar Winds
Universe, 2021 Binary systems that host a massive star and a non-accreting pulsar can be powerful non-thermal emitters. The relativistic pulsar wind and the non-relativistic stellar outflows interact along the orbit, producing ultrarelativistic particles that radiate ...

Black hole/pulsar binaries in the Galaxy [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2018 ABSTRACT We have performed population synthesis calculation on the formation of binaries containing a black hole (BH) and a neutron star (NS) in the Galactic disc. Some of important input parameters, especially for the treatment of common envelope evolution, are updated in the calculation.

Optical and Infrared Lightcurve Modeling of the Gamma-ray Millisecond Pulsar 2FGL J2339.6-0532 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2013 We report the detection of a quasi-sinusoidally modulated optical flux with a period of 4.6343 hour in the optical and infrared band of the Fermi source 2FGL J2339.7-0531.

MICROARCSECOND VLBI PULSAR ASTROMETRY WITH PSRπ. I. TWO BINARY MILLISECOND PULSARS WITH WHITE DWARF COMPANIONS [PDF]
, 2016 Model-independent distance constraints to binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are of great value to both the timing observations of the radio pulsars and multiwavelength observations of their companion stars.

Modulated Gamma-ray emission from compact millisecond pulsar binary systems
, 2013 A significant amount of the millisecond pulsars has been discovered within binary systems. In several such binary systems the masses of the companion stars have been derived allowing to distinguish two classes of objects, called the Black Widow and the ...

NuSTAR observations and broadband spectral energy distribution modeling of the millisecond pulsar binary PSR J1023+0038 [PDF]
, 2014 We report the first hard X-ray (3-79 keV) observations of the millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary PSR J1023+0038 using NuSTAR. This system has been shown transiting between a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) state and a rotation-powered MSP state.

Origin of the Binary Pulsar J0737-3039B
Physical Review Letters, 2005 Evolutionary scenarios suggest that the progenitor of the new binary pulsar J0737-3039B \cite{ref1,ref2} was a He-star with $M > 2.1-2.3~\Ms$ \cite{ref3,ref4}. We show that this case implies that the binary must have a large ($>120$ km/s) center of mass velocity.

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Observations and Timing of 68 Millisecond Pulsars
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present observations and timing analyses of 68 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) comprising the 15 yr data set of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav).

Constraints on Einstein-Æther theory and Hořava gravity from binary pulsar observations [PDF]
, 2013 Binary pulsars are ideal to test the foundations of General Relativity, such as Lorentz symmetry, which requires that experiments produce the same results in all free-falling (i.e.inertial) frames.
