Properties and observability of glitches and anti-glitches in accreting pulsars [PDF]
, 2015 Several glitches have been observed in young, isolated radio pulsars, while a clear detection in accretion-powered X-ray pulsars is still lacking. We use the Pizzochero snowplow model for pulsar glitches as well as starquake models to determine for the ...

Post-main-sequence planetary system evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The fates of planetary systems provide unassailable insights into their formation and represent rich cross-disciplinary dynamical laboratories. Mounting observations of post-main-sequence planetary systems necessitate a complementary level of theoretical

Pulsar statistics - IV. Pulsar velocities [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1997 We have used Monte Carlo simulations of the Galactic pulsar population to reassess the kinematics of radio pulsars in light of the large number of recently published proper motions and the revised distance model. Our modelling of the observational selection effects that distort the observed sample is far more detailed and self-consistent than that of ...

The Galactic Millisecond Pulsar Population [PDF]
, 2012 Among the current sample of over 2000 radio pulsars known primarily in the disk of our Galaxy, millisecond pulsars now number almost 200. Due to the phenomenal success of blind surveys of the Galactic field, and targeted searches of Fermi gamma-ray ...

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.

Pulsar Polar Cap and Slot Gap Models: Confronting Fermi Data [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2013 Rotation-powered pulsars are excellent laboratories for studying particle acceleration as well as fundamental physics of strong gravity, strong magnetic fields and relativity.

Physics Today, 1968 THE DISCOVERY OF PULSARS, or rapidly pulsating radio sources, was, like certain other historic events in astronomy, an accident. It is reminiscent of the unexpected detection of radio bursts from Jupiter by Bernard F. Burke and Kenneth L. Franklin, who were studying the Crab Nebula, and of the discovery of the cosmic fireball radiation by Arno A ...

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.

Gravitational waves from pulsars in the context of magnetic ellipticity
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017 In one of our previous articles we have considered the role of a time dependent magnetic ellipticity on the pulsars’ braking indices and on the putative gravitational waves these objects can emit.
