COBIPLANE: A Systematic Search for Compact Binary Millisecond Pulsars at Low Galactic Latitudes
Marco Turchetta, Manuel Linares, Karri Koljonen +2
We present the main results obtained from the COmpact BInary Pulsar search in the low-LAtitude NEighborhood (COBIPLANE), an optical photometric survey designed to find new `spider'…
Discovery of the variable optical counterpart of the redback pulsar PSR J2055+1545
Marco Turchetta, Bidisha Sen, Jordan A. Simpson +5
We present the discovery of the variable optical counterpart to PSR J2055+1545, a redback millisecond pulsar, and the first radial velocity curve of its companion star. The multi-b…
A GTC spectroscopic study of three spider pulsar companions: line-based temperatures, a new face-on redback, and improved mass constraints
Jordan A. Simpson, Manuel Linares, Jorge Casares +3
We present GTC-OSIRIS phase-resolved optical spectroscopy of three compact binary MSPs, or 'spiders': PSR J1048+2339, PSR J1810+1744, and (for the first time) PSR J1908+2105. For t…
COBIPULSE: A Systematic Search for Compact Binary Millisecond Pulsars
Marco Turchetta, Manuel Linares, Karri Koljonen +5
We report here the results obtained from a systematic optical photometric survey aimed at finding new compact binary millisecond pulsars (also known as "spiders"): the COmpact BIna…
