Identification of the Optical Counterpart of Fermi Black Widow Millisecond Pulsar Psr J1544+4937
We report the optical identification of the companion to the Fermi black widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544+4937. We find a highly variable source on Keck LRIS images at the nominal pulsar position, with 2 magnitude variations over orbital period in the B, g, R, and I bands. The nearly achromatic light curves are difficult to explain with a simply irradiated hemisphere model, and suggest that t...
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 کاملPSR J1909−3744, a Binary Millisecond Pulsar with a Very Small Duty Cycle
We report the discovery of PSR J1909−3744, a 2.95 millisecond pulsar in a nearly circular 1.53 day orbit. Its narrow pulse width of 43 μs allows pulse arrival times to be determined with great accuracy. We have spectroscopically identified the companion as a moderately hot (T ≈ 8500K) white dwarf with strong absorption lines. Radial velocity measurements of the companion will yield the mass rat...
متن کاملOptical spectroscopy of the radio pulsar PSR B 0656 + 14
We have obtained the spectrum of a middleaged PSR B0656+14 in the 4300-9000Å range with the ESO/VLT/FORS2. Preliminary results show that at 4600-7000Å the spectrum is almost featureless and flat with a spectral index αν≃-0.2 that undergoes a change to a positive value at longer wavelengths. Combining with available multiwavelength data suggests two wide, red and blue, flux depressions whose fre...
متن کاملNuSTAR Observations of the State Transition of Millisecond Pulsar Binary PSR
We report NuSTAR observations of the millisecond pulsar–low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) transition system PSR J1023+0038 from 2013 June and October, before and after the formation of an accretion disk around the neutron star. Between June 10 and 12, a few days to two weeks before the radio disappearance of the pulsar, the 3–79 keV X-ray spectrum was well fit by a simple power law with a photon ind...
