A Search for Pulsed and Bursty Radio Emission from X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars
V. I. Kondratiev, M. Burgay, A. Possenti +5
We have carried out a search for radio emission from six X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs) observed with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Radio Telescope (GBT) at 820 MHz. No…
Tests of general relativity from timing the double pulsar
M. Kramer, I. H. Stairs, R. N. Manchester +12
The double pulsar system, PSR J0737-3039A/B, is unique in that both neutron stars are detectable as radio pulsars. This, combined with significantly higher mean orbital velocities…
Timing of millisecond pulsars in NGC 6752 - II. Proper motions of the pulsars in the cluster outskirts
A. Corongiu, A. Possenti, A. G. Lyne +4
Exploiting a five-year span of data, we present improved timing solutions for the five millisecond pulsars known in the globular cluster NGC 6752. They include proper motion determ…
Chandra Smells a RRAT: X-ray Detection of a Rotating Radio Transient
B. M. Gaensler, M. McLaughlin, S. Reynolds +10
"Rotating RAdio Transients" (RRATs) are a newly discovered astronomical phenomenon, characterised by occasional brief radio bursts, with average intervals between bursts ranging fr…
