A Candidate Open Cluster Pulsar: Timing Analysis of PSR J1922+3745 in NGC 6791
Xiao-Jin Liu, Ralph P. Eatough, Zhichen Pan +15
PSR J1922+3745 was recently identified as a radio pulsar toward the old open cluster NGC 6791, raising the prospect of the first pulsar associated with an open cluster. We report F…
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…
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…
Constraining inflation with nonminimal derivative coupling with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array third data release
Chang Han, Li-Yang Chen, Zu-Cheng Chen +13
We study an inflation model with nonminimal derivative coupling that features a coupling between the derivative of the inflaton field and the Einstein tensor. This model naturally…
PSR J1922+37: a 1.9-second pulsar discovered in the direction of the old open cluster NGC 6791
Xiao-Jin Liu, Rahul Sengar, Matthew Bailes +8
More than 300 pulsars have been discovered in Galactic globular clusters; however, none have been found in open clusters. Here we present results from 20-hour pulsar searching obse…
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…
The neutron star mass, distance, and inclination from precision timing of the brilliant millisecond pulsar J04374715
Daniel J. Reardon, Matthew Bailes, Ryan M. Shannon +17
The observation of neutron stars enables the otherwise impossible study of fundamental physical processes. The timing of binary radio pulsars is particularly powerful, as it enable…
Reducing instrumental errors in Parkes Pulsar Timing Array data
Axl F. Rogers, Willem van Straten, Sergei Gulyaev +10
This paper demonstrates the impact of state-of-the-art instrumental calibration techniques on the precision of arrival times obtained from 9.6 years of observations of millisecond…
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…
Prospects for Taiji to detect a gravitational-wave background from cosmic strings
Zu-Cheng Chen, Qing-Guo Huang, Chang Liu +6
Recently, multiple pulsar timing array collaborations have presented compelling evidence for a stochastic signal at nanohertz frequencies, potentially originating from cosmic strin…
