Millisecond Pulsar Searches and Double Neutron Star Binaries
A unified strategy is developed that can be used to search for millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with ∼solar mass companions (including neutron star companions in double neutron star binaries [DNSBs]) belonging to both very short period binaries, and those with periods so long that they could be appropriate targets for acceleration searches, and to bridge the gap between these two extremes. In all cas...
متن کاملDouble Neutron Star Formation
We present results of a population synthesis study aimed at examining the role of spin-kick alignment in producing a correlation between the spin period of the first-born neutron star and the orbital eccentricity of observed double neutron star binaries in the Galactic disk. We find spin-kick alignment to be compatible with the observed correlation, but not to alleviate the requirements for low...
متن کاملNeutron Star Mass Determinations
I review attempts made to determine the properties of neutron stars. The focus is on the maximum mass that a neutron star can have, or, conversely, the minimum mass required for the formation of a black hole. There appears to be only one neutron star for which there is strong evidence that its mass is above the canonical 1.4M⊙, viz., Vela X-1, for which a mass close to 1.9M⊙ is found. Prospects...
متن کاملJ 1756 − 2251 : a new relativistic double neutron star system
We report the discovery during the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey of PSR J1756−2251, a 28.5 ms pulsar in a relativistic binary system. Subsequent timing observations showed the pulsar to have an orbital period of 7.67 hrs and an eccentricity of 0.18. They also revealed a significant advance of periastron, 2.585± 0.002 deg. yr. Assuming this is entirely due to general relativity implies a total ...
متن کاملNeutron Star Mass Measurements
There are now about fty known radio pulsars in binary systems, including at least ve in double neutron star binaries. In some cases, the stellar masses can be directly determined from measurements of relativistic orbital eeects. In others, only an indirect or statistical estimate of the masses is possible. We review the general problem of mass measurement in radio pulsar binaries, and criticall...
