Two sides of the same spin: tracking optical and radio pulsations of SAX J1808.4-3658 from outburst to quiescence

C. Ballocco, A. Miraval Zanon, A. Papitto +25

High-time-resolution optical and UV observations have revealed bright coherent pulsations from accreting millisecond pulsars, exceeding the luminosity expected from thermal emissio…

Searching for optical pulsations from spider millisecond pulsars with the fast photometer SiFAP2

Christian Malacaria, Alessandro Papitto, Filippo Ambrosino +19

Optical pulsations from millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have recently been detected in a transitional MSP and an accreting MSP. Evidence for optical pulsations has also been found for a…

Peering through the dip: IXPE unveils the extended scattering environment of GX 13+1

Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Luigi Stella +17

Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries feature complex accretion geometries, often including an accretion disk corona or disk winds. Here, a study of the highly inclined dipping sour…

The multiple facets of millisecond pulsar binaries

A. Miraval Zanon, G. Illiano, F. Ambrosino +17

Millisecond pulsar (MSP) binaries are unique laboratories for studying matter and radiation under extreme conditions that are unattainable on Earth. Recent detections of optical mi…

Evidence for optical pulsations from a redback millisecond pulsar

A. Papitto, F. Ambrosino, M. Burgay +16

Recent detections of optical pulsations from both a transitional and an accreting millisecond pulsar have revealed unexpectedly bright signals, suggesting that the presence of an a…

Detection of low-luminosity X-ray pulsations from the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17511-3057: An ever-thinning thread between bright accretion and sub-luminous states

Giulia Illiano, Alessandro Papitto, Sergio Campana +14

After nearly a decade in quiescence, the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J175113057 displayed a new outburst on 2025 February 11, its third since discovery, following previous…

Probing multi-band variability and mode switching in the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125

Giulia Illiano, Francesco Coti Zelati, Arianna Miraval Zanon +20

We present the most extensive high-time resolution multi-band campaign to date on the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) 3FGL J1544.6-1125 in the sub-luminous disk st…
