Gravitational waves from pulsars in the context of magnetic ellipticity
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.

The LOFAR pilot surveys for pulsars and fast radio transients [PDF]
We have conducted two pilot surveys for radio pulsars and fasttransients with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) around 140 MHz and herereport on the first low-frequency fast-radio burst limit and thediscovery of two new pulsars. The first survey, the LOFAR

Recent H-alpha Results on Pulsar B2224+65’s Bow-Shock Nebula, the “Guitar” [PDF]
We used the 4 m Discovery Channel Telescope (DCT) at Lowell observatory in 2014 to observe the Guitar Nebula, an Hα bow-shock nebula around the high-velocity radio pulsar B2224+65.

Pulsar statistics - IV. Pulsar velocities [PDF]
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 ...

Polarimetric Evidence of the First White Dwarf Pulsar: The Binary System AR Scorpii
The binary star AR Scorpii was recently discovered to exhibit high amplitude coherent variability across the electromagnetic spectrum (ultraviolet to radio) at two closely spaced ∼2 min periods, attributed to the spin period of a white dwarf and the beat

The high-energy sources known as anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are well explained as magnetars: isolated neutron stars powered by their own magnetic energy. After explaining why it is generally believed that the traditional energy sources at work in other neutron stars (accretion, rotation, residual heat) cannot ...

The environment of TeV halo progenitors
Context. TeV haloes are extended sources of very-high-energy gamma rays found around some middle-aged pulsars. The emission spanning several tens of parsecs suggests an efficient confinement of the ultra-relativistic lepton pairs produced by pulsars in ...

Understanding the diffuse gamma ray emission of the milky way - from supernova remnants to dark matter [PDF]
Diffuse gamma ray emission from the Galactic center at 2-3 GeV, as well as the 12 TeV gamma ray excess in the Galactic disk, remain open for debate and represent the missing puzzles in the complete picture of the high-energy Milky Way sky.

Relativistic Effects of Rotation in γ-ray Pulsars—Invited Review
In this paper, we consider the relativistic effects of rotation in the magnetospheres of γ-ray pulsars. The paper reviews the progress achieved in this field during the last three decades.
