PSR J1903+0327 : A Unique Milli-Second Pulsar with a Main-Sequence Companion Star

Juthika Khargharia, John T. Stocke, Cynthia S. Froning +2

PSR J1903+0327 is a mili-second pulsar with a mass of 1.67 M_{\odot} in a highly eccentric orbit (e=0.44) around a main-sequence star. This unique system cannot be reconciled with…

Ways to constrain neutron star equation of state models using relativistic disc lines

Sudip Bhattacharyya

Relativistic spectral lines from the accretion disc of a neutron star low-mass X-ray binary can be modelled to infer the disc inner edge radius. A small value of this radius tentat…
