Optical Follow-Up of Two Spider Pulsar Candidates: An Irradiated Redback and a Possible Double Giant Impostor

Bettina Due, Jundile Bridziute, Manuel Linares +2

Compact binary millisecond pulsars (nicknamed "spiders") are a growing class of neutron stars: more than 100 systems are known in the Galactic field, including more than 30 candida…

Modes in Transitional Millisecond Pulsars: Evidence of Pulsar Wind-Induced Disk Heating from GRMHD and Radiative Transfer

Raphaël Mignon-Risse, Manuel Linares, Kyle Parfrey +2

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) alternate between radio and X-ray pulsar states, and can represent the missing link between rotation- and accretion-powered neutron stars.…

Gamma-ray Modes in a Transitional Pulsar

Maksat Satybaldiev, Manuel Linares

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) exhibit a unique sub-luminous disk state, at the cross-roads between accretion and rotation power, where they switch between two distinct X…

COBIPLANE: A Systematic Search for Compact Binary Millisecond Pulsars at Low Galactic Latitudes

Marco Turchetta, Manuel Linares, Karri Koljonen +2

We present the main results obtained from the COmpact BInary Pulsar search in the low-LAtitude NEighborhood (COBIPLANE), an optical photometric survey designed to find new `spider'…

Gamma-ray Orbital Modulation in Spider Pulsars: Three Discoveries and a Universal Modulated Fraction

Maksat Satybaldiev, Manuel Linares, Vittoria Vecchiotti

Compact binary millisecond pulsars (also known as spiders) allow us to probe pulsar winds in their innermost regions, between the light cylinder (radius cm) and the co…

The slowest spinning Galactic-field spider PSR J1932+2121: A history of inefficient mass transfer

Devina Misra, Karri I. I. Koljonen, Manuel Linares

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope is discovering hundreds of new pulsars, including a slowly spinning compact binary millisecond pulsar (spin period $P_{\rm spin}…

Connecting the m-dots: accretion rates and thermonuclear burst recurrence times on neutron stars and white dwarfs

Triantafyllos Kormpakis, Manuel Linares, Jordi José

We present a compilation of observed recurrence times () and infer the corresponding local mass-accretion rates () for type I X-ray bursts, milliHertz quasi-pe…

SpiderCat: A Catalog of Compact Binary Millisecond Pulsars

Karri I. I. Koljonen, Manuel Linares

We present SpiderCat, a multiwavelength catalog of all publicly known compact binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the Galactic field. These systems, colloquially known as "spiders…

Multi-band study of RX J0838-2827 and XMM J083850.4-282759: a new asynchronous magnetic cataclysmic variable and a candidate transitional millisecond pulsar

N. Rea, F. Coti Zelati, P. Esposito +23

In search for the counterpart to the Fermi-LAT source 3FGL J0838.8-2829, we performed a multi-wavelength campaign, in the X-ray band with Swift and XMM-Newton, performed infrared,…

Broad iron emission line and kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in the neutron star system 4U 1636-53

Andrea Sanna, Mariano Mendez, Diego Altamirano +3

Both the broad iron (Fe) line and the frequency of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) can potentially provide inde…
