The Velocity distribution of isolated radio pulsars
TL;DR: In this paper, the velocity distribution of radio pulsars based on large-scale 0.4 GHz surveys is derived by modeling evolution of the locations, velocities, spins, and radio luminosities of pulsars; calculating pulsed flux according to a beaming model and random orientation angles of spin and beam; applying selection effects of pulsar surveys; and comparing model distributions of measurable pulsar properties with survey data using a likelihood function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observing binary inspiral in gravitational radiation: One interferometer
TL;DR: The sensitivity of individual LIGO-VIRGO-like interferometers and the precision with which they can determine the characteristics of an inspiralling binary system is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of globular clusters in the Galaxy
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive survey of Galactic globular cluster evolution until core collapse is presented, where two evolutionary endpoints are studied in detail: (1) the disruption of weakly bound clusters by mass loss due to stellar evolution, and (2) core collapse of multimass clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutron Star Population Dynamics. II. Three-dimensional Space Velocities of Young Pulsars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the spindown data on pulsars to estimate three-dimensional velocity components, birth distances from the Galactic plane, and ages of individual objects, determining the distribution of space velocities and the scale height of pulsar progenitors.

Neutron Star Population Dynamics.II: 3D Space Velocities of Young Pulsars
J. M. Cordes,David F. Chernoff +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the scale height of the progenitors is approximately 0.13 kpc, and the 3D velocities are distributed in two components with characteristic speeds of 175(+20,30) km/s and 700(+200,150) cm/s representing 83% and 17% of the population respectively.
