A pulsar escaping an ancient open cluster via tidal stripping

Lei Zhang, Xiaoting Fu, Di Li +21

Open clusters are the primary birthplaces of stars in the Milky Way disk, yet their neutron star progeny are rarely found within them, presumably due to supernova-induced kicks tha…

A Comprehensive Analysis of X-ray Sources in Terzan 5 Using Chandra Observations

Gourav Kumawat, Craig O. Heinke, Jiaqi Zhao +3

We analyze photometry, spectra, and variability of over 100 faint X-ray sources in the globular cluster Terzan 5, using 737 ks of Chandra data. X-ray colors and spectral fitting al…

A deep Chandra study verifies diffuse non-thermal X-ray emission from the globular cluster Terzan 5

Jiaqi Zhao, Craig O. Heinke, Su Fu

Diffuse X-ray emission has been detected from a few Galactic globular clusters (GCs), whereas its nature still remains largely unclear. The GC Terzan 5 was previously found to show…

A Census of X-ray Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters

Jiaqi Zhao, Craig O. Heinke

We present a comprehensive census of X-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in 29 Galactic globular clusters (GCs), including 68 MSPs with confirmed X-ray luminosities and 107 MSPs with…

Chandra and HST Studies of Six Millisecond Pulsars in the Globular Cluster M13

Jiaqi Zhao, Yue Zhao, Craig O. Heinke

We analyse 55 ks of Chandra X-ray observations of the Galactic globular cluster M13. Using the latest radio timing positions of six known millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in M13 from Wan…
