Radio timing observations of the binary millisecond pulsar J1614-2230 that show a strong Shapiro delay signature are presented and the pulsar mass is calculated to be (1.97 ± 0.04)M⊙, which rules out almost all currently proposed hyperon or boson condensate equations of state.
A Massive Pulsar in a Compact Relativistic Binary

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

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…
1E 1547.0–5408: A Radio-emitting Magnetar with a Rotation Period of 2 Seconds

- 31 July 2007
The variable X-ray source 1E 1547.0-5408 was identified by Gelfand & Gaensler as a likely magnetar in G327.24-0.13, an apparent supernova remnant. No X-ray pulsations have been detected from it.…
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 Radio Pulsar Spinning at 716 Hz
A 716-hertz eclipsing binary radio pulsar in the globular cluster Terzan 5 using the Green Bank Telescope is discovered, it is the fastest spinning neutron star found to date, and constrains models that suggest that gravitational radiation, through an r-mode (Rossby wave) instability, limits the maximum spin frequency of neutron stars.
A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link

- 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…
Transient pulsed radio emission from a magnetar
- F. Camilo, S. Ransom, J. Sarkissian
- PhysicsNature
- 17 May 2006
It is shown that XTE J1810 - 197 emits bright, narrow, highly linearly polarized radio pulses, observed at every rotation, thereby establishing that magnetars can be radio pulsars.
