Effects of Gravitational Lensing and Companion Motion on the Binary Pulsar Timing
Roman R. Rafikov, Dong Lai
The measurement of the Shapiro time delay in binary pulsar systems with highly inclined orbit can be affected both by the motion of the pulsar's companion because of the finite tim…
Wave Excitation in Three-Dimensional Disks by External Potential
Hang Zhang, Dong Lai
We study the excitation of density and bending waves and the associated angular momentum transfer in gaseous disks with finite thickness by a rotating external potential. The disk…
Neutron Star Kicks in Isolated and Binary Pulsars: Observational Constraints and Implications for Kick Mechanisms
Chen Wang, Dong Lai, JinLin Han
We study observational constraints on neutron star (NS) kicks for isolated pulsars and for neutron stars in binary systems. We are particularly interested in the evidence of kick-s…
Magnetic fields in neutron stars: A theoretical perspective
Andreas Reisenegger, Joaquin Prieto, Rafael Benguria +2
We present our view of the main physical ingredients determining the evolution of neutron star magnetic fields. This includes the basic properties of neutron star matter, possible…
Effects of Pulsar Rotation on Timing Measurements of the Double Pulsar System J0737-3039
Roman R. Rafikov, Dong Lai
We study the effect of pulsar rotation on timing of binary pulsars, with particular emphasis on the double pulsar system J0737-3039. Special relativistic aberration due to the orbi…
