An intermediate-mass black hole in the centre of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae
Bülent Kızıltan, Holger Baumgardt, Abraham Loeb
Intermediate mass black holes play a critical role in understanding the evolutionary connection between stellar mass and super-massive black holes. However, to date the existence o…
Reassessing The Fundamentals: New Constraints on the Evolution, Ages and Masses of Neutron Stars
Bulent Kiziltan
The ages and masses of neutron stars (NSs) are two fundamental threads that make pulsars accessible to other sub-disciplines of astronomy and physics. A realistic and accurate dete…
The Neutron Star Mass Distribution
Bulent Kiziltan, Athanasios Kottas, Stephen E. Thorsett
In recent years, the number of pulsars with secure mass measurements has increased to a level that allows us to probe the underlying neutron star mass distribution in detail. We cr…
Pulsar Timing with the Parkes Radio Telescope for the Fermi Mission
P. Weltevrede, S. Johnston, R. N. Manchester +10
We report here on two years of timing of 168 pulsars using the Parkes radio telescope. The vast majority of these pulsars have spin-down luminosities in excess of 10^34 erg/s and a…
Millisecond Pulsar Ages: Implications of Binary Evolution and a Maximum Spin Limit
Bulent Kiziltan, Stephen E. Thorsett
In the absence of constraints from the binary companion or supernova remnant, the standard method for estimating pulsar ages is to infer an age from the rate of spin-down. While th…
Do all millisecond pulsars share a common heritage?
Bulent Kiziltan, Stephen. E. Thorsett
The discovery of millisecond pulsations from neutron stars in low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) systems has substantiated the theoretical prediction that links millisecond radio pulsars…
