Timing of millisecond pulsars in NGC\,6752 -- III. On the presence of non-luminous matter in the cluster's core

A. Corongiu, A. Ridolfi, F. Abbate +9

Millisecond pulsars are subject to accelerations in globular clusters (GCs) that manifest themselves in both the first and second spin period time derivatives, and can be used to e…

A search for pulsars around Sgr A* in the first Event Horizon Telescope dataset

Pablo Torne, Kuo Liu, Ralph P. Eatough +282

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observed in 2017 the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), at a frequency of 228.1 GHz (=1.3 mm). Th…

PSR~J19105959A: A rare gravitational laboratory for testing white dwarf models

A. Corongiu, V. Venkatraman Krishnan, P. C. C. Freire +21

PSRJ1910-5959A (J1910A) is a binary millisecond pulsar in a 0.837 day circular orbit around a helium white dwarf (HeWD) companion. This pulsar is located 6.3 arcmin away from the c…

Missing for 20 years: MeerKAT re-detects the elusive binary pulsar M30B

Vishnu Balakrishnan, Paulo Freire, Scott Ransom +14

PSR J21402311B is a 13-ms pulsar discovered in 2001 in a 7.8-hour Green Bank Telescope (GBT) observation of the core-collapsed globular cluster M30 and predicted to be in a high…

MeerKAT discovery of 13 new pulsars in Omega Centauri

W. Chen, P. C. C. Freire, A. Ridolfi +21

The most massive globular cluster in our Galaxy, Omega Centauri, is an interesting target for pulsar searches, because of its multiple stellar populations and the intriguing possib…

Searching for pulsars in globular clusters with the MeerKAT Radio Telescope

F. Abbate

Globular clusters are known to host an unusually large population of millisecond pulsar when compared to the Galactic disk. This is thanks to the high rate of dynamical encounters…
