Constraining the Bulk Properties of Dense Matter by Measuring Millisecond Pulsar Masses - A White Paper for the Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, CFP Panel
Paulo C. Freire, David Nice, James Lattimer +4
More than four decades after the discovery of pulsars, the composition of matter at their cores is still a mystery. This white paper summarizes how recent high-precision measuremen…
PSR J1856+0245: Arecibo Discovery of a Young, Energetic Pulsar Coincident with the TeV Gamma-ray Source HESS J1857+026
J. W. T. Hessels, D. J. Nice, B. M. Gaensler +21
We present the discovery of the Vela-like radio pulsar J1856+0245 in the Arecibo PALFA survey. PSR J1856+0245 has a spin period of 81ms, a characteristic age of 21kyr, and a spin-d…
An Eccentric Binary Millisecond Pulsar in the Galactic Plane
D. J. Champion, S. M. Ransom, P. Lazarus +28
Binary pulsar systems are superb probes of stellar and binary evolution and the physics of extreme environments. In a survey with the Arecibo telescope, we have found PSR J1903+032…
Pulsar surveys present and future: The Arecibo pulsar-ALFA survey and projected SKA survey
J. S. Deneva
The Arecibo Pulsar-ALFA (PALFA) survey of the Galactic plane began in 2004 when the new ALFA (Arecibo L-band Feed Array) receiver was commissioned. It is slated to continue for the…
Arecibo and the ALFA Pulsar Survey
J. van Leeuwen, J. M. Cordes, D. R. Lorimer +34
The recently started Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) pulsar survey aims to find ~1000 new pulsars. Due to its high time and frequency resolution the survey is especially sensitive…
The young, highly relativistic binary pulsar J1906+0746
D. R. Lorimer, I. H. Stairs, P. C. C. Freire +33
We report the discovery of PSR J1906+0746, a young 144-ms pulsar in a highly relativistic 3.98-hr orbit with an eccentricity of 0.085 and expected gravitational wave coalescence ti…
