Coordinated X-ray, Ultraviolet, Optical, and Radio Observations of the PSR J1023+0038 System in a Low-mass X-ray Binary State

Slavko Bogdanov, Anne M. Archibald, Cees Bassa +14

The PSR J1023+0038 binary system hosts a neutron star and a low-mass, main-sequence-like star. It switches on year timescales between states as an eclipsing radio millisecond pulsa…

The Vela Pulsar With an Active Fallback Disk

Gökçe Özsükan, K. Yavuz Ekşi, Valeri Hambaryan +4

Fallback disks are expected to form around young neutron stars. The presence of these disks can be revealed by their blackbody spectrum in the infrared, optical and UV bands. We pr…
