Standard binary evolution models of pulsars in very circular orbits can explain systems with lighter companions and weaker magnetic fields: they are descended...
We have observed the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 in its current outburst (ATel #1728, #1732, #1733) in the radio band with the Australia...
Radio upper limits for the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J17511-3057
We report on recent radio observations of the newly-detected accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar, IGR J17511-3057 (ATels #2196, #2197, #2198, #2199, #2215, #2216...
We continued our Swift-XRT monitoring of the new very-faint X-ray source XMMSL1 J171900.4-353217 [ATel #2607, #2656]. Two new observations were obtained on Jun...
We have been monitoring the optical counterpart of the TeV emitting binary LSI +61 303 (V615 Cas) since November 2005 with the Faulkes Telescope North (on...
In this talk I will summarise the events that led to the discovery of the first four pulsars, recount several instances where pulsars were almost discovered and...
Renewed activity of the neutron star X-ray transient SAX J1747.0-2853
An X-ray transient was detected in outburst on 18 October 2005 during one of our Chandra/HRC-I observations as part of the XMM-Newton/Chandra monitoring...
Renewed activity of the very faint X-ray transient CXOGC J174535.5-290124 and continued activity of the neutron-star X-ray transient SAX J1747.0-2853
On 8-9 September 2006, a series of 7 XMM-Newton observations were performed as part of our XMM-Newton/Chandra monitoring campaign of the 1.7 square degree...
