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 44-minute periodic radio transient in a supernova remnant
Di Li, Mao Yuan, Lin Wu +45
Long-period radio transients (LPTs) are a newly discovered class of radio emitters with periods ranging from minutes to hours. The astrophysical nature remains undetermined, partic…
Discovery of a millisecond pulsar with a CO white dwarf companion
Jie Zhang, Zerui Wang, Lei Zhang +13
We report the discovery and characterization of PSR J1810-0623, a fully recycled millisecond pulsar with a spin period of 4.55 ms, discovered with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture S…
Absence of Radio Emission Reveals an Exceptionally Weak Explosion of the Putative Historical Supernova Pa 30
Yi-xuan Shao, Ping Zhou, Xiao Zhang +7
We present the first deep radio continuum observations of Pa 30, a nebula hosting a unique optical source driven by an ultrafast outflow with a velocity of 16,000 km s. The…
Sensitive Constraints on Coherent Radio Emission from Five Isolated White Dwarfs
Lei Zhang, Alexander Wolszczan, Joshua Pritchard +8
Coherent, periodic radio emission from pulsars has been widely interpreted as evidence of neutron stars as strongly magnetized compact objects. In recent years, radio pulses have a…
A Target Search for Fast Radio Bursts Associated with Two Fast Blue Optical Transients: AT2018cow and CSS161010
Shi-Jie Gao, Xiang-Dong Li, Yi-Xuan Shao +5
Fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) are luminous, rapidly evolving events with blue spectra, possibly powered by newborn magnetars and linked to fast radio bursts (FRBs). Given th…
