An ultraluminous nascent millisecond pulsar [PDF]
Abstract If the ultraluminous source (ULX) M82 X-2 sustains its measured spin-up value of $\dot{\nu }= 10^{-10}\,{\rm s^{-2}}$, it will become a millisecond pulsar in less than 105 yr. The observed (isotropic) luminosity of 1040 erg s−1 also supports the notion that the neutron star will spin up to a millisecond period upon accreting ...

AbstractMillisecond pulsars are intrinsically interesting because they illustrate some of the most extreme physical conditions to be found anywhere in the Universe, and because their evolution exhibits several stages of great drama. It had been widely believed for several years that spin-up of an old neutron star by accretion from a close stellar ...

Three consecutive days of endurance training under low energy availability (LEA) decreased the muscle glycogen content and increased the serum hepcidin level in well‐trained male long distance runners. These results suggest that LEA is associated with a risk of exercise‐induced iron deficiency by an elevated hepcidin level in endurance athletes ...

Swinging between rotation and accretion power in a binary millisecond pulsar
We present the discovery of IGR J18245–2452, the first millisecond pulsar observed to swing between a rotation-powered, radio pulsar state, and an accretion-powered X-ray pulsar state [31]. This transitional source represents the most convincing proof of

Millisecond Pulsar Surveys [PDF]
In 1982 a new class of pulsars was defined by the discovery of a star with a millisecond rotation period, 1.6 ms. In the past 3.5 years two additional pulsars with millisecond periods have been discovered. The rapid spin of these pulsars is attributed to mass transfer in a low-mass binary progenitor system.

Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST): A Powerful Explorer of Exotic Pulsars
Located in southern China, the five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope (FAST) is the world’s most sensitive radio telescope, especially for pulsar observation. Since its commissioning in 2016 and full operation in 2020, it has detected over

Millisecond Pulsar Surveys [PDF]
Abstract There are now more than 30 millisecond pulsars known to be associated with the Galactic disk. The majority of these have been discovered in just the last few years as the result of large-scale all-sky surveys. The properties of the population vary tremendously.

Probing the millisecond pulsar origin of the γ-ray excess in the Galactic centre with LISA
The gigaelectronvolt γ-ray excess observed towards the Galactic centre remains unexplained. While dark matter annihilation has long been considered a leading explanation, an alternative scenario involving a large population of millisecond pulsars remains

Green Bank Telescope Discovery of the Redback Binary Millisecond Pulsar PSR J0212+5321
We report the discovery of a 2.11 ms binary millisecond pulsar during a targeted search of the redback optical candidate coincident with the γ -ray source 3FGL J0212.5+5320 using the Robert C.
