Optical Detection of Two Intermediate Mass Binary Pulsar Companions
We report the detection of probable optical counterparts for two Intermediate Mass Binary Pulsar (IMBP) systems, PSR J1528−3146 and PSR J1757−5322. Recent radio pulsar surveys have uncovered a handful of these systems with putative massive white dwarf companions, thought to have an evolutionary history different from that of the more numerous class of Low Mass Binary Pulsars (LMBPs) with He whi...
متن کاملOptical Studies of Millisecond Pulsar Companions
In observations of four binary millisecond pulsars with the Palomar 200-inch telescope , we have detected white dwarf companions to PSRs J1640+2224 and J2145?0750 and placed upper limits of m r = 24 and m r = 25 on companions to PSRs J0751+1807 and J2229+2643. The temperature inferred for the companion to PSR J1640+2224 is T = (3700 300) K. The luminosity inferred for a star at a distance of 1....
متن کاملThe detection of binary companions to subdwarf B stars ?
Intermediate dispersion spectroscopy of a sample of 40 hot subdwarf B stars between 5500 A and 9000 A has been obtained. The sample includes a large fraction of targets which have been studied photometrically. Seven targets show strong lines due to the infrared Ca ii triplet, the unequivocal signature of a cool companion. The positive Ca ii identiications include known photometric binaries and ...
متن کاملBounding the mass of the graviton using binary pulsar observations
The close agreement between the predictions of dynamical general relativity for the radiated power of a compact binary system and the observed orbital decay of the binary pulsars PSR B1913+16 and PSR B1534+12 allows us to bound the graviton mass to be less than 7.6× 10−20 eV with 90% confidence. This bound is the first to be obtained from dynamic, as opposed to staticfield, relativity. The resu...
متن کاملThe Mass Distribution of Extrasolar Planet-candidates and Spectroscopic-binary Low-mass Companions
Spectroscopic orbits have been reported for nine unseen companions orbiting solartype stars with minimum possible masses in the range 0.5 to 10 Jupiter masses. We compare the mass distribution of these nine planet candidates with the distribution of low-mass secondaries in spectroscopic binaries. Although we still have only a very small number of systems, the two distributions suggest two disti...
