Galactic population of radio and gamma-ray pulsars
We simulate the characteristics of the Galactic population of radio and gamma-ray pulsars using Monte Carlo techniques. At birth, neutron stars are spatially...
Galactic Populations of Radio and Gamma-Ray Pulsars in the Polar Cap Model
We simulate the characteristics of the Galactic population of radio and γ-ray pulsars using Monte Carlo techniques. At birth, neutron stars are spatially...
Galactic transient sources with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
A wide variety of Galactic sources show transient emission at soft and hard X-ray energies: low- and high-mass X-ray binaries containing compact objects...
Gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula at TeV energies
A new series of observation of the Crab Nebula in TeV gamma rays using an improved camera on the Whipple Observatory 10 m Optical Reflector is reported. The...
Implications of Burst Oscillations from the Slowly Rotating Accreting Pulsar IGR J17480-2446 in the Globular Cluster Terzan 5
The recently discovered accreting X-ray pulsar IGR J17480-2446 spins at a frequency of ~11 Hz. We show that Type I X-ray bursts from this source display...
Indirect evidence for an active radio pulsar in SAX J1808.4-3658 during quiescence
Millisecond radio pulsars are neutron stars that have been spun-up by the transfer of angular momentum during the low-mass X-ray binary phase. The transition...
INTEGRAL observations of the peculiar BeX System SAX J2103.5+4545
We present an INTEGRAL data analysis of the X-ray transient SAX J2103.5+4545 during two outbursts detected in December 2002. The INTEGRAL coordinates and error...
Light-curve models for a pulsar orbiting a Kerr black hole
We have studied the signal received by a distant observer from a pulsar orbiting a stellar black hole. The binary system has a non-eccentric orbit and the most...
Likely optical counterpart of the cool middle-aged pulsar J1957+5033
The 840-kyr-old pulsar PSR J1957+5033, detected so far only in γ- and X-rays, is a nearby and rather cool neutron star with a temperature of 0.2-0.3 MK, a...
