On the nature and evolution of the unique binary pulsar J1903+0327
P. C. C. Freire, C. G. Bassa, N. Wex +16
(abridged) PSR J1903+0327, a millisecond pulsar in an eccentric (e = 0.44) 95-day orbit with a (~ 1Msun) companion poses a challenge to our understanding of stellar evolution in bi…
The Evolution of PSR J0737-3039B and a Model for Relativistic Spin Precession
Benetge Perera, Maura McLaughlin, Michael Kramer +9
We present the evolution of the radio emission from the 2.8-s pulsar of the double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B. We provide an update on the Burgay et al. (2005) analysis by des…
Probing fundamental physics with pulsars
D. R. Lorimer, M. A. McLaughlin
Pulsars provide a wealth of information about General Relativity, the equation of state of superdense matter, relativistic particle acceleration in high magnetic fields, the Galaxy…
Near-infrared observations of Rotating Radio Transients
N. Rea, G. Lo Curto, V. Testa +6
We report on the first near-infrared observations obtained for Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs). Using adaptive optics devices mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), we ob…
Lutz-Kelker bias in pulsar parallax measurements
J. P. W. Verbiest, D. R. Lorimer, M. A. McLaughlin
Lutz & Kelker showed that parallax measurements are systematically overestimated because they do not properly account for the larger volume of space that is sampled at smaller para…
Observations and Modelling of Relativistic Spin Precession in PSR J1141-6545
R. N. Manchester, M. Kramer, I. H. Stairs +10
Observations of the binary pulsar PSR J1141-6545 using the Parkes radio telescope over 9.3 years show clear time-variations in pulse width, shape and polarization. We interpret the…
