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.

A Survey for Millisecond Pulsars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 We have searched 960 square degrees of sky for radio pulsars, using the 305 m telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The 430 MHz survey reached a limiting sensitivity for slow pulsars of 0.7 mJy using a dual-polarization, 32 channel filter bank over 8 MHz of bandwidth.

The Effect of Irradiation on the Spin of Millisecond Pulsars
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 A millisecond pulsar (MSP) is an old neutron star (NS) that has accreted material from its companion star, causing it to spin up, which is known as the recycling scenario.

Spin frequency distributions of binary millisecond pulsars [PDF]
, 2014 Rotation-powered millisecond radio pulsars have been spun up to their present spin period by a $10^8$ - $10^9$ yr long X-ray-bright phase of accretion of matter and angular momentum in a low-to-intermediate mass binary system.

Giant Pulses in Millisecond Pulsars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 Giant pulses (GPs), occasional individual pulses with an intensity 100 times the average intensity, have been detected in four pulsars to date. Their origin is not well understood, but studies suggest a connection between the strength of magnetic field at the light cylinder Blc and the existence of GPs. Here, we report on detection of significant Large

Finding pulsars with LOFAR [PDF]
, 2007 We investigate the number and type of pulsars that will be discovered with the low-frequency radio telescope LOFAR. We consider different search strategies for the Galaxy, for globular clusters and for galaxies other than our own.

Pulse profiles of millisecond pulsars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996 We present a comparison between the average radio pulse profiles of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the field and in globular clusters. Our sample consists of 20 field MSPs and 25 cluster MSPs for which observations exist at 400 - 600 MHz. We find that 6 of the 20 field MSPs, or about 30%, have a comparable interpulse at a phase offset of 180 ±30 ...

An ultraluminous nascent millisecond pulsar [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2015 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 ...
