Binary and Millisecond Pulsars
Most of the ~600 known pulsars are single and located in the disk of our Galaxy. There is circumstantial evidence that the pulsars in this majority are created in supernova (SN) explosions, by the collapse of the cores of massive stars (initial mass Mi >~ Met "~ 8 Mo). One is created roughly every 100 y in the Galaxy. Figure 1 is a plot of the pulse period (P) versus the dipole field strength (...
متن کاملBinary and Millisecond Pulsars
We review the main properties, demographics and applications of binary and millisecond radio pulsars. Our knowledge of these exciting objects has greatly increased in recent years, mainly due to successful surveys which have brought the known pulsar population to over 1700. There are now 80 binary and millisecond pulsars associated with the disk of our Galaxy, and a further 103 pulsars in 24 of...
متن کاملEclipsing Binary Pulsars
The first eclipsing binary pulsar, PSR B1957+20, was discovered in 1987. Since then, 13 other eclipsing low-mass binary pulsars have been found; 12 of these are in globular clusters. In this paper we list the known eclipsing binary pulsars and their properties, with special attention to the eclipsing systems in 47 Tuc. We find that there are two fundamentally different groups of eclipsing binar...
متن کاملEccentric Binary Millisecond Pulsars
In this paper we review recent discovery of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in eccentric binary systems. Timing these MSPs we were able to estimate (and in one case precisely measure) their masses. These results suggest that, as a class, MSPs have a much wider range of masses (1.3 to > 2M⊙) than the normal and mildly recycled pulsars found in double neutron star (DNS) systems (1.25 < Mp < 1.44M⊙). T...
متن کاملRadiation Dosimetry of Binary Pulsars
Companion stars exposed to high energy radiation from a primary neutron star or accreting black hole can experience significant spallation of their heavy elements, so that their atmospheres would be extremely rich in lithium, beryllium, and especially boron. In this paper we note that the detection or non-detection of these elements, and their relative abundances if detected, would provide a di...
