With the MIPS camera on Spitzer, we have searched for far-infrared emission from dust in the planetary system orbiting pulsar PSR B1257+12. With accuracies of 0.05 mJy at 24 µm and 1.5 mJy at 70 µm, photometric measurements find no evidence for emission at these wavelengths. These observations place new upper limits on the luminosity of dust with temperatures between 20 and 1000 K. They are par...
متن کاملDynamical evolution of 1036 Ganymed , the largest near - Earth asteroid
We have studied numerically the dynamical evolution of 1036 Ganymed, the largest near-Earth asteroid, by integrating the orbits of tens of " clone " particles with similar initial conditions. Typically, the orbit initially undergoes large, coupled oscillations of the eccentricity and inclination; then, Mars encounters random–walk the semimajor axis until it reaches a strong Jovian resonance; an...
متن کاملRadio emissions from pulsar companions : a refutable explanation for galactic transients and fast radio bursts
Context. The six known highly dispersed fast radio bursts are attributed to extragalactic radio sources, of unknown origin but extremely energetic. We propose here a new explanation – not requiring an extreme release of energy – involving a body (planet, asteroid, white dwarf) orbiting an extragalactic pulsar. Aims. We investigate a theory of radio waves associated to such pulsar-orbiting bodie...
متن کاملRocking the Lighthouse: Circumpulsar Asteroids and Radio Intermittency
We propose that neutral, circumpulsar debris entering the light cylinder can account for many time-dependent pulsar phenomena that are otherwise difficult to explain. Neutral material avoids propeller ejection and injects sufficient charges — after heating, evaporation, and ionization — to alter current flows and pair-production and thus trigger, detune, or extinguish coherent emission. Relevan...
متن کاملProperties and Evolution of the Redback Millisecond Pulsar Binary Psr J2129–0429
PSR J2129−0429 is a “redback” eclipsing millisecond pulsar binary with an unusually long 15.2 hr orbit. It was discovered by the Green Bank Telescope in a targeted search of unidentified Fermi gamma-ray sources. The pulsar companion is optically bright (mean mR=16.6mag), allowing us to construct the longest baseline photometric data set available for such a system. We present 10 years of arch...
