Stellar Forensics II: Millisecond Pulsar Binaries
Brad M. S. Hansen, E. Sterl Phinney
We use the grid of models described in paper~I to analyse those millisecond pulsar binaries whose secondaries have been studied optically. In particular, we find cooling ages for t…

Stellar Forensics I: Cooling Curves
Brad M. S. Hansen, E. Sterl Phinney
The presence of low mass, degenerate secondaries in millisecond pulsar binaries offers the opportunity to determine an age for the binary system independent of the rotational prope…

The Pulsar Kick Velocity Distribution
Brad M. S. Hansen, E. Sterl Phinney
We analyse the sample of pulsar proper motions, taking detailed account of the selection effects of the original surveys. We treat censored data using survival statistics. From a c…
