چکیده
The young pulsar J1740−3052 is in an 8-month orbit with a companion of at least 11 solar masses. We present multifrequency GBT and Parkes timing observations, and discuss implications for the nature of the companion.

A Massive White Dwarf Companion to the Eccentric Binary Pulsar System PSR B2303+46
Pulsars in close, eccentric binary systems are usually assumed to have another neutron star as a companion. These double neutron star binaries have proven to be the best laboratories for experimental General Relativity and are the most secure candidates for gravitational wave interferometers. We present deep B, V , and R images of the field containing the eccentric binary pulsar system PSR B230...
متن کاملSupernova remnant S 147 and its associated neutron star ( s )
The supernova remnant S 147 harbors the pulsar PSR J 0538+2817 whose characteristic age is more than an order of magnitude greater than the kinematic age of the system (inferred from the angular offset of the pulsar from the geometric center of the supernova remnant and the pulsar proper motion). To reconcile this discrepancy we propose that PSR J 0538+2817 could be the stellar remnant of the f...

متن کاملBinary Pulsar Shock Emissions as Galactic Gamma-ray Sources
We address several issues regarding the interpretation of galactic -ray sources. We consider powerful pulsars in binaries producing X-ray and gamma-ray unpulsed emission from the shock interaction of relativistic pulsar winds with circumbinary material. Nebular mass out ows from companion stars of binary pulsars can provide the right calorimeters to transform a fraction of the electromagnetic a...
