Introduction Neutron stars with masses above 1.8 solar masses (M☉), possess extreme gravitational fields, which may give rise to phenomena outside general relativity. These strong-field deviations…
A direct localization of a fast radio burst and its host
- S. Chatterjee, C. Law, H. Langevelde
- PhysicsNature
- 4 January 2017
The authors' observations are inconsistent with the fast radio burst having a Galactic origin or its source being located within a prominent star-forming galaxy, and the source appears to be co-located with a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus or a previously unknown type of extragalactic source.
The Host Galaxy and Redshift of the Repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102

- 4 January 2017
The precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability p ≲ 3 × 10−4) of an FRB with an optical and…
A Bright Millisecond Radio Burst of Extragalactic Origin
- D. Lorimer, M. Bailes, M. Mclaughlin, D. J. Narkevic, F. Crawford
- PhysicsScience
- 27 September 2007
A 30-jansky dispersed burst, less than 5 milliseconds in duration, located 3° from the Small Magellanic Cloud is found, which implies that it was a singular event such as a supernova or coalescence of relativistic objects.
An increased estimate of the merger rate of double neutron stars from observations of a highly relativistic system
- M. Burgay, N. D'Amico, D. Lorimer
- PhysicsNature
- 2 December 2003
This work reports the discovery of a 22-ms pulsar, PSR J0737–3039, which is a member of a highly relativistic double-neutron-star binary with an orbital period of 2.4 hours, which implies an order-of-magnitude increase in the predicted merger rate for double- NEUTron- star systems in the authors' Galaxy (and in the rest of the Universe).
THE SECOND FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE CATALOG OF GAMMA-RAY PULSARS
- A. Abdo, M. Ajello, Zhirong Yang
- Physics
- 19 September 2013
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence ⩾0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half are neutron stars…
A repeating fast radio burst
- L. Spitler, P. Scholz, W. W. Zhu
- PhysicsNature
- 2 March 2016
These repeat bursts with high dispersion measure and variable spectra specifically seen from the direction of FRB 121102 support an origin in a young, highly magnetized, extragalactic neutron star.
A Double-Pulsar System: A Rare Laboratory for Relativistic Gravity and Plasma Physics
The detection of the 2.8-second pulsar J0737–3039B as the companion to the 23-millisecond pulsars in a highly relativistic double neutron star system, allowing unprecedented tests of fundamental gravitational physics.
A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link
- A. Archibald, I. Stairs, R. Remillard
- PhysicsScience
- 20 May 2009
From X-ray Binary to Pulsar Pulsars with millisecond rotational periods are thought to originate from neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries that had their spin frequencies increased by…
Relativistic Shapiro delay measurements of an extremely massive millisecond pulsar
- H. Cromartie, E. Fonseca, W. W. Zhu
- PhysicsNature Astronomy
- 1 January 2020
Despite its importance to our understanding of physics at supranuclear densities, the equation of state (EoS) of matter deep within neutron stars remains poorly understood. Millisecond pulsars (MSPs)…
