New long-term braking index measurements for glitching pulsars using a glitch-template method
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017)
Braking index measurements offer the opportunity to explore the processes affecting the longterm spin evolution of pulsars and possible evolutionary connections between the various pulsar populations. In most cases, such ...
Exploring the formation of 'Black Widows'
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-06)
Black Widows (BWs) are a class of binary millisecond pulsars orbiting together with very low mass donor stars ( < 10−2 M⊙). After the discovery of eclipses in the first known BW, PSR 1957+20, they are considered as close ...
A Model for the Braking Indices of Pulsars
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2017)
Stars known as pulsars are generally modeled as magnetized spheres made of neutrons with high rotation frequency. It is known that such stars are spinning down and this braking is measured by a parameter, n, known as braking ...
Evolutionary trajectories of ultracompact "black widow" pulsars with very low mass companions
(IOP Publishing, 2012-07)
The existence of millisecond pulsars with planet-mass companions in close orbits is challenging from the stellar evolution point of view. We calculate in detail the evolution of binary systems self-consistently, including ...
Bayesian Inference Applied to Pulsar's Models
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2017-01-01)
The goal of this work is to apply Bayesian statistics to the problem of pulsars in order to compute the Bayes factor and investigate which one among different EoS could better fit known pulsar data, regarding the rate of ...
