Evidence for a Massive Neutron Star from a Radial-velocity Study of the Companion to the Black-widow Pulsar PSR B1957+20

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that the black-widow pulsar, PSR B1957+20, has a high mass by observing the spectra of its strongly irradiated companion and finding an observed radial-velocity amplitude of K_(obs) = 324 ± 3 km s^(-1).
