The birth of radio millisecond pulsars and their high-energy signature
P. H. T. Tam, K. L. Li, A. K. H. Kong +4
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are thought to born in low-mass X-ray binaries when the neutron star has gained enough angular momentum from the accreting materials of its companion sta…
High-energy observations of PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 through the 2014 periastron passage: connecting X-rays to the GeV flare
P. H. T. Tam, K. L. Li, J. Takata +3
The binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 is well sampled in radio, X-rays, and TeV gamma-rays, and shows orbital phase-dependent variability in these frequencies. The first detection…
Measuring the bulk Lorentz factors of gamma-ray bursts with Fermi
Qing-Wen Tang, Fang-Kun Peng, Xiang-Yu Wang +1
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powered by ultra-relativistic jets. Usually a minimum value of the Lorentz factor of the relativistic bulk motion is obtained based on the argument that…
Fermi-LAT Detection of Pulsed Gamma-rays Above 50 GeV from the Vela Pulsar
Gene C. K. Leung, J. Takata, C. W. Ng +4
The First \fermi-LAT Catalog of Sources Above 10 GeV reported evidence of pulsed emission above 25 GeV from 12 pulsars, including the Vela pulsar, which showed evidence of pulsatio…
NuSTAR observations and broadband spectral energy distribution modeling of the millisecond pulsar binary PSR J1023+0038
K. L. Li, A. K. H. Kong, J. Takata +4
We report the first hard X-ray (3-79 keV) observations of the millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary PSR J1023+0038 using NuSTAR. This system has been shown transiting between a low-mass…
Discovery of an ultracompact gamma-ray millisecond pulsar binary candidate
A. K. H. Kong, R. Jin, T. -C. Yen +8
We report multi-wavelength observations of the unidentified Fermi object 2FGL J1653.6-0159. With the help of high-resolution X-ray observation, we have identified an X-ray and opti…
