Birth and Evolution of Isolated Radio Pulsars

C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, V. M. Kaspi

We investigate the birth and evolution of Galactic isolated radio pulsars. We begin by estimating their birth space velocity distribution from proper motion measurements of Brisken…

Millihertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations from Marginally Stable Nuclear Burning on an Accreting Neutron Star

Alexander Heger, Andrew Cumming, Stanford E. Woosley

We investigate marginally stable nuclear burning on the surface of accreting neutron stars as an explanation for the mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed from three low…
