Runaway Massive Binaries and Cluster Ejection Scenarios
M. Virginia McSwain, Scott M. Ransom, Tabetha S. Boyajian +2
The production of runaway massive binaries offers key insights into the evolution of close binary stars and open clusters. The stars HD 14633 and HD 15137 are rare examples of such…
Recent Observations of EGRET Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Mallory S. E. Roberts, E. V. Gotthelf, Jules P. Halpern +2
We present recent X-ray and radio observations of pulsar wind nebulae discovered in EGRET error boxes. Two XMM-Newton observations show the X-ray extent of the rapidly moving PWN a…
Parsec-scale Constraints on the Ionized Interstellar Medium with the Terzan 5 Pulsars
Scott M. Ransom
Over the past two years, we used a series of GBT observations to uncover at least 33 millisecond pulsars in the globular cluster Terzan 5 located in the Galactic bulge. We now have…
Neutron Stars and Black Holes in Star Clusters
F. A. Rasio, H. Baumgardt, A. Corongiu +10
This article was co-authored by all invited speakers at the Joint Discussion on `Neutron Stars and Black Holes in Star Clusters,' which took place during the IAU General Assembly i…
The magnetar XTE J1810-197: variations in torque, radio flux density and pulse profile morphology
F. Camilo, I. Cognard, S. M. Ransom +8
We report on 9 months of observations of the radio-emitting anomalous X-ray pulsar XTE J1810-197 starting in 2006 May using the Nancay, Parkes, GBT, and VLA telescopes mainly at a…
A Survey of 56 Mid-latitude EGRET Error Boxes for Radio Pulsars
F. Crawford, M. S. E. Roberts, J. W. T. Hessels +4
We have conducted a radio pulsar survey of 56 unidentified gamma-ray sources from the 3rd EGRET catalog which are at intermediate Galactic latitudes (5 deg. < |b| < 73 deg.). For e…
Transient pulsed radio emission from a magnetar
Fernando Camilo, Scott Ransom, Jules Halpern +4
Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are slowly rotating neutron stars with very bright and highly variable X-ray emission that are believed to be powered by ultra-strong magnetic fields…
Arecibo and the ALFA Pulsar Survey
J. van Leeuwen, J. M. Cordes, D. R. Lorimer +34
The recently started Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) pulsar survey aims to find ~1000 new pulsars. Due to its high time and frequency resolution the survey is especially sensitive…
A Radio Pulsar Spinning at 716 Hz
Jason W. T. Hessels, Scott M. Ransom, Ingrid H. Stairs +3
We have discovered a 716-Hz eclipsing binary radio pulsar in the globular cluster Terzan 5 using the Green Bank Telescope. It is the fastest-spinning neutron star ever found, break…
