The discovery of the binary pulsar

Reviews of Modern Physics, 1994
Exactly 20 years ago today, on December 8, 1973, I was at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico recording in my notebook the confirming observation of the first pulsar discovered by the search which formed the basis for my Ph.D. thesis. As excited as I am sure I was at that point in time, I certainly had no idea of what lay in store for me in the ...

The binary and millisecond pulsars

Contemporary Physics, 1992
Abstract Most of the 500 known pulsars are solitary. A recently discovered population of binary pulsars now amounts to about 3% of the total; most of these have very short periods, and many of them are found in Globular Clusters. There is a clear evolutionary link between the X-ray binaries and pulsars. Mass transfer within the binary provides both the

Binary and Millisecond Pulsars

2014
The first evidence for neutron stars residing in binaries came in the early 60s when Giacconi et al. (1962) discovered the first extrasolar X-ray source, Sco X\(-\)1.

Interstellar scintillations of binary pulsars

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1988
We have measured interstellar scintillations of two binary pulsars (1855+09 and 1913+16) to determine their transverse velocities at numerous points in their orbits. Combining transverse velocities with radial velocities derived from Doppler shifts, one can (in principle) determine a binary system’s proper motion and orbital inclination, and the bulk ...

11 Millisecond and binary pulsars

2012
A distinct population The millisecond pulsars are in a different category from the general population of ‘normal’ pulsars. The majority of pulsars are following a simple course of evolution, from a birth in a supernova, through a slowdown from a rotational period at birth of some tens of milliseconds to a death at around one second when the radiation

Navigation using binary pulsars

Science China Physics, Mechanics and Astronomy, 2012
The issue of navigation using binary pulsars is investigated in this paper. We show how the effect of the binary motion is incorporated in the navigation measurement equation. Necessary reference systems and time scales are introduced and the transformation between different time scales is derived. Based mainly on Damour and Deruelle’s binary model and

Optical identification of binary pulsars

Advances in Space Research, 1988
Abstract Of the nearly 500 known pulsars, only seven pulsars are in binary systems. In this article, I review the identification of binary pulsars with emphasis on the critical and unique information provided by optical observations. Optical observations have provided: (i) basic conformation of the stellar evolution acenarios and (ii) observational ...
