Binary and Millisecond Pulsars [PDF]
Living Reviews in Relativity, 1998 Our knowledge of binary and millisecond pulsars has greatly increased in recent years. This is largely due to the success of large-area surveys which have brought the known population of such systems in the Galactic disk to around 50.

Algorithmic Pulsar Timer for Binaries
The Astrophysical JournalPulsar timing is a powerful tool that, by accounting for every rotation of a pulsar, precisely measures the spin frequency, spin frequency derivatives, astrometric position, binary parameters when applicable, properties of the interstellar medium, and ...

Binary and Millisecond Pulsars [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1994 Most of the ~600 known pulsars are single and located in the disk of our Galaxy. There is circumstantial evidence that the pulsars in this majority are created in supernova (SN) explosions, by the collapse of the cores of massive stars (initial mass M_i ≳ M_(cr) ≃ 8 M_⊙). One is created roughly every 100 y in the Galaxy.

Binary and Other Recycled Pulsars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 Binary pulsars and others with weak fields and rapid rotation now number several dozen and appear to have been spun up by close binary mass transfer. Some are lineal descendents of X-ray binaries; others may result from accretion-induced collapse of binary white dwarfs or from captures, exchanges, and collisions in clusters.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981 There are now three radio frequency pulsars known to be in binary systems: PSRs 1913+16, 0820+02, and 0655+64. The first of these, discovered in 1974, moves in a tight, highly eccentric orbit with a period of approximately 7h 45m. Its companion has not yet been identified with certainty, but must be a compact object of mass comparable to that of the ...

Trompe L'Oeil 'binary' pulsars
The Astrophysical Journal, 1990 A freely precessing pulsar produces pulse phase residuals which can mimic those of a pulsar in a binary orbit. In particular, discrete sets of phase residuals due to precessional motion of an isolated pulsar are sampled; it is shown that this data is well fit by residuals from a binary pulsar in a sufficiently tight orbit.

Relativistic Binary Pulsars with Black Hole Companions [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 Binaries containing a stellar-mass black hole and a recycled radio pulsar have so far eluded detection. We present a focused investigation of the formation and evolution of these systems in the Galactic disk, highlighting the factors that limit their numbers and the reasons why they may be extremely rare.

A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link [PDF]
Science, 2009 From X-ray Binary to Pulsar Pulsars with millisecond rotational periods are thought to originate from neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries that had their spin frequencies increased by long-lasting mass transfer from their companion stars. Using data from a radio pulsar survey, Archibald
