A Brief, Biased View of Neutron Star Cooling

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
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.

Formation and nature of “Huntsman” binary pulsars

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. “Spider” systems are a class of close binaries in which a neutron star first accretes from a normal companion, and later ablates it in some cases. New observations have expanded this category, with the addition of a “Huntsman” group, tentatively linked to a short donor phase along the red bump along the secondary evolutionary track. Aims.

A Systematic Search for Redback and Black Widow Candidates Based on the 4FGL-DR3 Unassociated Sources and the Zwicky Transient Facility Data

The Astrophysical Journal
Spider pulsars represent a unique subclass of radio millisecond pulsars in binaries, and are further categorized into black widows and redbacks according to the mass of the low-mass companion.

Eclipsing Binary Pulsars

, 2004
The first eclipsing binary pulsar, PSR B1957+20, was discovered in 1987. Since then, 13 other eclipsing low-mass binary pulsars have been found, 12 of these are in globular clusters. In this paper we list the known eclipsing binary pulsars and their properties, with special attention to the eclipsing systems in 47 Tuc.

Follow-up Timing of 12 Pulsars Discovered in Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey

The Astrophysical Journal
We present phase-connected timing ephemerides, polarization pulse profiles, and Faraday rotation measurements of 12 pulsars discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey.

An Alternative Explanation for the Helium Star Pulsar Binary J1928+1815: The Most Heavyweight Black Widow System to Date

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the results of deep near-infrared imaging of the recently discovered helium star pulsar binary J1928+1815 situated in the Galactic plane. Our observations did not achieve significant detections, providing limiting magnitudes of J = 23.7 and H =

Astrophysical Implications of the QCD phase transition

, 2012
The possible role of a first order QCD phase transition at nonvanishing quark chemical potential and temperature for cold neutron stars and for supernovae is delineated. For cold neutron stars, we use the NJL model with nonvanishing color superconducting

The Anomalous Acceleration of PSR J2043+1711: Long-period Orbital Companion or Stellar Flyby?

The Astrophysical Journal
Based on the rate of change of its orbital period, PSR J2043+1711 has a substantial peculiar acceleration of 3.5 ± 0.8 mm s ^–1 yr ^–1 , which deviates from the acceleration predicted by equilibrium Milky Way (MW) models at a 4 σ level.
