PSR J1947−1120: A New Huntsman Millisecond Pulsar Binary
We present the discovery of PSR J1947–1120, a new huntsman millisecond pulsar with a red giant companion star in a 10.3 day orbit. This pulsar was found via optical, X-ray, and radio follow-up of the previously unassociated γ -ray source 4FGL J1947.6 ...

Modeling pulse profiles of accreting millisecond pulsars [PDF]
I review the basic observational properties of accreting millisecond pulsars that are important for understanding the physics involved in formation of their pulse profiles. I then discuss main effects responsible for shaping these profiles.

The Role of XMM–Newton in the Investigation of Persistent BeXRBs
ABSTRACT The persistent BeXRBs are a class of high‐mass X‐ray binaries (HMXRBs), which are characterized by persistent low X‐ray luminosities (LX~1034$$ {L}_{\mathrm{X}}\sim {10}^{34} $$ erg s −1$$ {}^{-1} $$) and wide (Porb>$$ {P}_{\mathrm{orb}}> $$ 30 days), almost circular orbits. In these sources the NS is slowly rotating (with Pspin$$ {P}_{\mathrm{

Timing stability of millisecond pulsars and prospects for gravitational-wave detection [PDF]
Analysis of high-precision timing observations of an array of approx. 20 millisecond pulsars (a so-called "timing array") may ultimately result in the detection of a stochastic gravitational-wave background.

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

Pevatron at the Galactic Center: multi-wavelength signatures from millisecond pulsars [PDF]
Diffuse TeV emission has been observed by H.E.S.S. in the Galactic Center region, in addition to the GeV gamma rays observed by Fermi. We propose that a population of unresolved millisecond pulsars located around the Galactic Center, suggested as ...

On an Autonomous Pulsar Observation–Based Timekeeping Method for Deep Space
To provide autonomous and accurate time service for deep space missions, a pulsar observation–based timekeeping method is documented in this paper, which utilizes pulsars as the time information source. Firstly, the pulsar observation noise is remodeled as the combination of the Gaussian noise and colored noise, and the detailed expression of the ...

General-relativistic Simulations of Four States of Accretion onto Millisecond Pulsars [PDF]
Accreting neutron stars can power a wide range of astrophysical phenomena including short- and long-duration gamma-ray bursts, ultra-luminous X-ray sources, and X-ray binaries.

Search for Short‐Duration Transient Gravitational Waves Emitted by Neutron Star Glitches
The observation rate of pulsar glitches is limited by their electromagnetic observations. There could be a population of the isolated neutron stars in the galaxy for which there is no electromagnetic observations, but they can produce gravitational waves. The all‐sky search for gravitational waves provides better localization of the source sky position

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
