Multiwavelength coverage of the 2024 periastron passage of PSR B1259-63 / LS 2883
M. Chernyakova, D. Malyshev, B. van Soelen +9
PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system with a 48 ms radio pulsar orbiting around an O9.5Ve star, LS 2883, in a highly eccentric ~3.4 yr long orbit. Close to the periastron the s…

MeerKAT observations of pair-plasma induced birefringence in the double pulsar eclipses
M. E. Lower, M. Kramer, S. Johnston +10
PSR J07373039A/B is unique among double neutron star systems. Its near-perfect edge-on orbit causes the fast spinning pulsar A to be eclipsed by the magnetic field of the slow s…

A MeerKAT view of the double pulsar eclipses -- Geodetic precession of pulsar B and system geometry
M. E. Lower, M. Kramer, R. M. Shannon +17
The double pulsar system, PSR J07373039A/B, consists of two neutron stars bound together in a highly relativistic orbit that is viewed nearly edge-on from the Earth. This alignm…
