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 ...

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 ...

Gravity Tests with Radio Pulsars
Universe, 2020 The discovery of the first binary pulsar in 1974 has opened up a completely new field of experimental gravity. In numerous important ways, pulsars have taken precision gravity tests quantitatively and qualitatively beyond the weak-field slow-motion ...

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

The observed velocity distribution of young pulsars [PDF]
, 2017 We argue that comparison with observations of theoretical models for the velocity distribution of pulsars must be done directly with the observed quantities, i.e. parallax and the two components of proper motion.

The effect of small inter-pulsar distance variations in stochastic gravitational wave background searches with Pulsar Timing Arrays [PDF]
, 2014 One of the primary objectives for Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) is to detect a stochastic background generated by the incoherent superposition of gravitational waves (GWs), in particular from the cosmic population of supermassive black hole binaries ...

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.

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.
