Journal ArticleDOI
A Bright Millisecond Radio Burst of Extragalactic Origin
TL;DR: A 30-jansky dispersed burst, less than 5 milliseconds in duration, located 3° from the Small Magellanic Cloud is found, which implies that it was a singular event such as a supernova or coalescence of relativistic objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
A statistical study of 233 pulsar proper motions
TL;DR: In this article, a catalogue of 233 pulsars with proper motion measurements is presented and analyzed, which contains a wide variety of pulsars including recycled objects and those associated with globular clusters or supernova remnants.

TL;DR: In this paper, theoretical background for pulsar observations is described. But pulsars as physical tools are not used as a physical tool for the measurement of pulsar properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
An increased estimate of the merger rate of double neutron stars from observations of a highly relativistic system
M. Burgay,N. D'Amico,A. Possenti,Richard N. Manchester,Andrew Lyne,B. C. Joshi,B. C. Joshi,Maura McLaughlin,Michael Kramer,John Sarkissian,Fernando Camilo,Vicky Kalogera,Chunglee Kim,Duncan R. Lorimer +13 more
TL;DR: This work reports the discovery of a 22-ms pulsar, PSR J0737–3039, which is a member of a highly relativistic double-neutron-star binary with an orbital period of 2.4 hours, which implies an order-of-magnitude increase in the predicted merger rate for double- NEUTron- star systems in the authors' Galaxy (and in the rest of the Universe).
Journal ArticleDOI
Tests of General Relativity from Timing the Double Pulsar

TL;DR: The double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B is a good candidate for testing Einstein's theory of general relativity and alternative theories of gravity in the strong field regime.
