A Gaia view of the optical and X-ray luminosities of compact binary millisecond pulsars

Karri I. I. Koljonen, Manuel Linares

In this paper, we study compact binary millisecond pulsars with low- and very low-mass companion stars (spiders) in the Galactic field, using data from the latest Gaia data release…

Quantifying irradiation in spider pulsars: the extreme case of PSR J1622-0315

Marco Turchetta, Manuel Linares, Karri Koljonen +1

We present the first multi-band optical light curves of PSR J1622-0315, among the most compact known redback binary millisecond pulsars, with an orbital period Porb=3.9 h. We find…

The neutron star population in M28: a joint Chandra/GBT look at pulsar paradise

Eda Vurgun, Manuel Linares, Scott Ransom +7

We present the results of a deep study of the neutron star (NS) population in the globular cluster M28 (NGC 6626), using the full 330-ks 2002-2015 ACIS dataset from the Chandra X-r…

Axisymmetric smoothed particle magneto-hydrodynamics

Domingo García-Senz, Robert Wissing, Rubén M. Cabezón +2

Many astrophysical and terrestrial scenarios involving magnetic fields can be approached in axial geometry. Although the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique has been su…

X-ray variability of transitional millisecond pulsars: a faint, stable and fluctuating disk

Manuel Linares, Barbara De Marco, Rudy Wijnands +1

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) have emerged in the last decade as a unique class of neutron stars at the crossroads between accretion- and rotation-powered phenomena. In…

The peculiar chemical abundance of the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 -- Li enhancement

T. Shahbaz, J. I. Gonzalez-Hernandez, R. P. Breton +3

Using high-resolution optical spectroscopy we determine the chemical abundance of the secondary star in the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038. We measure a metallicity of [F…
