Discovery of TeV Gamma-ray Emission from CTA 1 by VERITAS

E. Aliu, S. Archambault, T. Arlen +88

We report the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission coincident with the shell-type radio supernova remnant (SNR) CTA 1 using the VERITAS gamma-ray observatory. The source, VER J0006+…

Spectral and timing properties of the magnetar CXOU~J164710.2-455216

Hongjun An, Victoria M. Kaspi, Robert Archibald +1

We report on spectral and timing properties of the magnetar CXOU J164710.2-455216 in the massive star cluster Westerlund 1. Using 11 archival observations obtained with Chandra and…

X-ray Observations of High-B Radio Pulsars

S. A. Olausen, W. W. Zhu, J. K. Vogel +6

The study of high-magnetic-field pulsars is important for examining the relationships between radio pulsars, magnetars, and X-ray-isolated neutron stars (XINSs). Here we report on…

Discoveries of Rotating Radio Transients in the 350 MHz Green Bank Telescope Drift-scan Survey

Chen Karako-Argaman, the GBT Drift-scan Collaboration

Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) are a class of pulsars characterized by sporadic bursts of radio emission, which make them difficult to detect in typical periodicity-based pulsar…
