A Metal-Rich Low-Gravity Companion to a Massive Millisecond Pulsar
David L. Kaplan, Varun B. Bhalerao, Marten H. van Kerkwijk +3
Most millisecond pulsars with low-mass companions are in systems with either helium-core white dwarfs or non-degenerate ("black widow" or "redback") stars. A candidate counterpart…
Discovery of the Optical Counterparts to Four Energetic Fermi Millisecond Pulsars
R. P. Breton, M. H. van Kerkwijk, M. S. E. Roberts +6
In the last few years, over 43 millisecond radio pulsars have been discovered by targeted searches of unidentified gamma-ray sources found by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. A…
Rapidly accreting white dwarfs as supernova type Ia progenitors
Kelly Lepo, Marten van Kerkwijk
The nature of the progenitors of type Ia supernovae is still a mystery. While plausible candidates are known for both the single degenerate and double degenerate models, the observ…
