A temporally clustered gravitational wave pair and a Type IIb supernova

Sheng Yang, Ting-Wan Chen, Weichangfeng Guo +22

Compact object mergers are generally expected long after the stellar collapse that forms their remnants. Here we report two marginal gravitational wave (GW) candidates, S190910d an…

Constraining the Pulsar 3D Velocity Distribution: The Impact of Spin-Velocity Alignment

Zheng Li, Xiaojin Liu, Zhi-Qiang You +2

Quantifying the natal kick distribution of pulsars is essential for understanding supernova physics and binary evolution, yet measurements are historically limited by the lack of r…

Hierarchical Test of Lorentz Invariance with Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral-Lag Measurements

Shen-Shi Du, Yi Gong, Jun-Jie Wei +4

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most potent probes of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), offering direct constraints on the quantum gravity energy scale () based…

A Census of Pulsars in Possible Association with Galactic Open Clusters

Lu Zhou, Zhi-Qiang You, Lu Li +3

Among the known pulsars in our Galaxy, are found in globular clusters, but none has been confirmed in any open clusters yet, although they outnumber glo…

Beyond the Simple Power Law: A Bayesian Analysis of 897 Pulsar Spectra

Qingzheng Gao, Xiao-Jin Liu, Zhi-Qiang You +2

We present a comprehensive re-evaluation of pulsar radio spectra using the largest curated dataset of calibrated flux densities to date, comprising 897 pulsars, and employing a rob…

The birth mass function of neutron stars

Zhi-Qiang You, Xingjiang Zhu, Xiaojin Liu +12

The birth mass function of neutron stars encodes rich information about supernova explosions, double star evolution, and properties of matter under extreme conditions. To date, it…

On the initial spin period distribution of neutron stars

Shen-Shi Du, Xiao-Jin Liu, Zu-Cheng Chen +3

We derive the initial spin period distribution of neutron stars by studying the population of young pulsars associated with supernova remnants. Our hierarchical Bayesian approach a…

On the spin period distribution of millisecond pulsars

Xiao-Jin Liu, Zhi-Qiang You, Zu-Cheng Chen +3

Spin period distribution provides important clues to understand the formation of millisecond pulsars (MSPs). To uncover the intrinsic period distribution, we analyze three samples…

Observational evidence for a spin-up line in the P-Pdot diagram of millisecond pulsars

Xiao-Jin Liu, Zhi-Qiang You, Xing-Jiang Zhu

It is believed that millisecond pulsars attain their fast spins by accreting matter and angular momentum from companion stars. Theoretical modelling of the accretion process sugges…

Black hole central engine for ultra-long gamma-ray burst 111209A and its associated supernova 2011kl

He Gao, Wei-Hua Lei, Zhi-Qiang You +1

Recently, the first association between an ultra-long gamma-ray burst (GRB) and a supernova is reported, i.e., GRB 111209A/SN 2011kl, which enables us to investigate the physics of…
