Astrophysics with Compact Objects: An Indian Perspective, Present Status and Future Vision
Manjari Bagchi, Prasanta Bera, Aru Beri +18
Astrophysical compact objects, viz., white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, are the remnants of stellar deaths at the end of their life cycles. They are ideal testbeds for v…
Defining Millisecond Pulsars
Priyam Halder, Satyaki Goswami, Protyusha Halder +2
Millisecond pulsars (MSP) are an important subclass of rotation powered pulsars (RPP), traditionally defined as those with ~ms and ~G. We re-exam…
The Enigma of GLEAM-X~J162759.5-523504.3
Sushan Konar
It is proposed that GLEAM-X~J162759.5-523504.3, the newly discovered radio transient with an unusually long spin-period (P = 1091.1690s), can be identified to be a Radio Magnet…
The Magnetar Connection
Tanmay Tushar Chowhan, Sushan Konar, Sarmistha Banik
We investigate the combined evolution of the dipolar surface magnetic field (B) and the spin-period (P) of known magnetars and high magnetic field (B $ \gtrsim 10^{13…
Radio Pulsar Sub-Populations (II) : The Mysterious RRATs
Abhishek, Namrata Malusare, Tanushree N +2
Several conjectures have been put forward to explain the RRATs, the newest subclass of neutron stars, and their connections to other radio pulsars. This work discusses these conjec…
Radio Pulsar Sub-Populations (I) : The Curious Case of Nulling Pulsars
Sushan Konar, Uddeepta Deka
About 200 radio pulsars have been observed to exhibit nulling episodes - short and long. We find that the nulling fraction of a pulsar does not have any obvious correlation with an…
Magnetic Fields of Neutron Stars
Sushan Konar
This article briefly reviews our current understanding of the evolution of magnetic fields in neutron stars, which basically defines the evolutionary pathways between different obs…
Neutron Star Physics in the Square Kilometer Array Era : An Indian Perspective
Sushan Konar, Manjari Bagchi, Debades Bandyopadhyay +14
It is an exceptionally opportune time for Astrophysics when a number of next-generation mega-instruments are poised to observe the universe across the entire electromagnetic spectr…
Of Mountains and Molehills : Gravitational Waves from Neutron Stars
Sushan Konar, Dipanjan Mukherjee, Dipankar Bhattacharya +1
Surface asymmetries of accreting neutron stars are investigated for their mass quadrupole moment content. Though the amplitude of the gravitational waves from such asymmetries seem…
