Getting Its Kicks: A VLBA Parallax for the Hyperfast Pulsar B1508+55
S. Chatterjee, W. H. T. Vlemmings, W. F. Brisken +7
The highest velocity neutron stars establish stringent constraints on natal kicks, asymmetries in supernova core collapse, and the evolution of close binary systems. Here we presen…
Pulsar Astrometry at the Microarcsecond Level
W. H. T. Vlemmings, S. Chatterjee, W. F. Brisken +12
Determination of pulsar parallaxes and proper motions addresses fundamental astrophysical questions. We have recently finished a VLBI astrometry project to determine the proper mot…
Fundamental Physics with the SKA:Strong-Field Tests of Gravity Using Pulsars and Black Holes
M. Kramer
The Square-Kilometre-Array (SKA) will be a radio telescope with a collecting area that will exceed that of existing telescopes by a factor of a hundred or so. This contribution sum…
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…
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…
