The INTEGRAL view of the pulsating hard X-ray sky: from accreting and transitional millisecond pulsars to rotation-powered pulsars and magnetars

A. Papitto, M. Falanga, W. Hermsen +30

In the last 25 years, a new generation of X-ray satellites imparted a significant leap forward in our knowledge of X-ray pulsars. The discovery of accreting and transitional millis…

The first ultraviolet detection of the Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar PSR B0540-69 and its multi-wavelength properties

R. P. Mignani, A. Shearer, A. de Luca +9

We observed the young ( yrs) pulsar PSR B0540-69 in the near-ultraviolet (UV) for the first time with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aboard the {\em Hub…

Searching for the optical counterparts of two young gamma-ray pulsars

R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, M. Marelli +7

We report on the first deep optical observations of two -ray pulsars, both among the very first discovered by the {\em Fermi} Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The two pulsars are the…

Observations of three young gamma-ray pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias

R. P. Mignani, N. Rea, V. Testa +6

We report the analysis of the first deep optical observations of three isolated -ray pulsars detected by the {\em Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope}: the radio-loud PSR\, J0248+60…

VLT polarimetry observations of PSR B0656+14

R. P. Mignani, P. Moran, A Shearer +5

Optical polarisation measurements are key tests for different models of the pulsar magnetosphere. Furthermore, comparing the relative orientation of the phase-averaged linear polar…

HST optical polarimetry of the Vela pulsar & nebula

P. Moran, R. P. Mignani, A. Shearer

Polarisation measurements of pulsars offer an unique insight into the geometry of the emission regions in the neutron star magnetosphere. Therefore, they provide observational cons…
