Pulsar Nulling and Mode Changing
With its relatively long observation time per pointing, the Parkes multibeam survey was effective in detecting nulling pulsars. We have made 2-hour observations of 23 pulsars which showed evidence for pulse nulling or mode changing in the survey data. Because of the low flux density of these pulsars, in most cases averaging times of between 10 s and 60 s were necessary and so this analysis is i...
متن کاملIdentification of the Optical Counterpart of Fermi Black Widow Millisecond Pulsar Psr J1544+4937
We report the optical identification of the companion to the Fermi black widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544+4937. We find a highly variable source on Keck LRIS images at the nominal pulsar position, with 2 magnitude variations over orbital period in the B, g, R, and I bands. The nearly achromatic light curves are difficult to explain with a simply irradiated hemisphere model, and suggest that t...
متن کاملXMM-Newton Observations of the Black Widow Pulsar PSR B1957+20
We report on XMM-Newton observations of the “Black Widow pulsar”, PSR B1957+20. The pulsar’s X-ray emission is non-thermal and best modeled with a single powerlaw spectrum of photon index 2.03+0.51 −0.36. No coherent X-ray pulsations at the pulsar’s spin-period could be detected, though a strong binary-phase dependence of the X-ray flux is observed for the first time. The data suggest that the ...
متن کاملOrbital Evolution of an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar: Witnessing the Banquet of a Black Widow
We have performed a timing analysis of all the four X-ray outbursts from the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4−3658 observed so far by the PCA on board RXTE. For each of the outbursts we derived the best-fit value of the time of ascending node passage. We find that these times follow a parabolic trend, which gives an orbital period derivative Ṗorb = (3.40±0.12)×10 −12 s/s, and a refined ...
متن کاملOrbital Evolution of an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar: Witnessing the Banquet of a Hidden Black Widow
We have performed a timing analysis of all the four X-ray outbursts from the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4−3658 observed so far by RXTE. For each of the outbursts we have found the local best orbital solution, keeping fixed to their best fit values the orbital period and the a sin i amplitude, and fitting for the time of ascending node passage. Plotting the best-fit values obtained i...
