Study of measured pulsar masses and their possible conclusions
C. M. Zhang, J. Wang, Y. H. Zhao +6
We study the statistics of 61 measured masses of neutron stars (NSs) in binary pulsar systems, including 18 double NS (DNS) systems, 26 radio pulsars (10 in our Galaxy) with white…
A Common Envelope Binary Star Origin of Long Gamma-ray Bursts
Christopher A. Tout, Dayal T. Wickramasinghe, Herbert H. -B. Lau +2
The stellar origin of gamma-ray bursts can be explained by the rapid release of energy in a highly collimated, extremely relativistic jet. This in turn appears to require a rapidly…
Observations of radio pulses from CU Virginis
V. Ravi, G. Hobbs, D. Wickramasinghe +7
The magnetic chemically peculiar star CU Virginis is a unique astrophysical laboratory for stellar magnetospheres and coherent emission processes. It is the only known main sequenc…
Does GD 356 have a Terrestrial Planetary Companion?
Dayal T. Wickramasinghe, Jay Farihi, Christopher A. Tout +2
GD 356 is unique among magnetic white dwarfs because it shows Zeeman-split Balmer lines in pure emission. The lines originate from a region of nearly uniform field strength (delta…
