XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...

Optical Observations of the Binary Millisecond Pulsars J2145-0750 and J0034-0534 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We report on optical observations of the low-mass binary millisecond pulsar systems J0034-0534 and J2145-0750. A faint (I=23.5) object was found to be coincident with the timing position of PSR J2145-0750.

The Role of XMM–Newton in the Investigation of Persistent BeXRBs

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
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{

Detection of polarized quasi-periodic microstructure emission in millisecond pulsars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Microstructure emission, involving short time scale, often quasi-periodic, intensity fluctuations in subpulse emission, is well known in normal period pulsars. In this letter, we present the first detections of quasi-periodic microstructure emission from

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
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 ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST): A Powerful Explorer of Exotic Pulsars

open access: yesUniverse
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

Fermi pulsar revolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
2009 has been an extraordinary year for gamma-ray pulsar astronomy and 2010 promises to be equally good. Not only have we registered an extraordinary increase in the number of pulsars detected in gamma rays, but we have also witnessed the birth of new ...

On an Autonomous Pulsar Observation–Based Timekeeping Method for Deep Space

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
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 ...

Assessing the Role of Spin Noise in the Precision Timing of Millisecond Pulsars

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate rotational spin noise (referred to as timing noise) in non-accreting pulsars: millisecond pulsars, canonical pulsars, and magnetars.

Search for Short‐Duration Transient Gravitational Waves Emitted by Neutron Star Glitches

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
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
