TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that XSS J12270-4859 is a low-mass X-ray binary which transitioned to a radio millisecond pulsar state between 2012 November 14 and 2012 December 21.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used waveform modeling to determine the equation of state at supranuclear densities inside neutron stars by measuring the radius of neutron stars with different masses to accuracies of a few percent.

TL;DR: In this article, radio and γ-ray observations along with concurrent X-ray data were used to reveal that the binary millisecond pulsar (MSP)/low-mass Xray binary transition system PSR J1023+0038 has undergone a transformation in state, and the radio pulsations at frequencies between 300 to 5000 MHz have now become undetectable.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 7-year timing study of the 2.5 ms X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 was performed using data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer covering four transient outbursts (1998-2005).

TL;DR: The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) Cosmic Vision Theme "Matter under extreme conditions", namely: does matter orbiting close to the event horizon follow the predictions of general relativity? What is the equation of state of matter in neutron stars? LOFT, selected by ESA as one of the four Cosmic Vision M3 candidate missions to undergo an assessment phase, will revolutionise the study of collapsed objects in our galaxy and of the brightest supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei.
