The Galactic Formation Rate of Eccentric Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
Vassiliki Kalogera, Chunglee Kim, Duncan R. Lorimer +2
In this paper we consider the population of eccentric binaries with a neutron star and a white dwarf that has been revealed in our galaxy in recent years through binary pulsar obse…
The Highly Relativistic Binary Pulsar PSR J0737-3039A: Discovery and Implications
M. Burgay, N. D'Amico, A. Possenti +10
PSR J0737-3039A is a millisecond pulsar with a spin period of 22.7 ms included in a double-neutron star system with an orbital period of 2.4 hrs. Its companion has also been detect…
The double pulsar -- A new testbed for relativistic gravity
M. Kramer, A. G. Lyne, M. Burgay +9
The first ever double pulsar, discovered by our team a few months ago, consists of two pulsars, one with period of 22 ms and the other with a period of 2.7 s. This binary system wi…
The Galactic Double-Neutron-Star Merger Rate: Most Current Estimates
Chunglee Kim, Vassiliki Kalogera, Duncan R. Lorimer +2
We summarize our results on the Galactic merger rate of double neutron stars (DNS) in view of the recent discovery of PSR J0737-3039. We also present previously unpublished results…
Two clocks in the PSR J0737--3039 binary system and their implications for the system's origin and evolution
D. R. Lorimer, M. Burgay, P. C. C. Freire +8
As discussed elsewhere in these proceedings, the double pulsar system is a magnificent laboratory for gravitational physics and for studying pulsar magnetospheres. Here we consider…
New limits on the strong equivalence principle from two long-period circular-orbit binary pulsars
D. R. Lorimer, P. C. C. Freire
Following a brief review of the principles of the strong equivalence principle (SEP) and tests for its violation in the strong and weak gravitational field regimes, we present prel…
