Optical studies of companions to millisecond pulsars
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the properties of binary pulsars is presented, with a summary of what is known about their optical counterparts, and the case of PSR B0820+02, where the cooling age indicates a braking index less than 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the Pulsating White Dwarf G29-38
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the analysis of time-resolved, high-resolution spectra of the cool white dwarf pulsator G29-38 and conclude that velocity changes as large as 16.5 km s-1 are due to the horizontal motions associated with the g-mode pulsations on the star.
Journal ArticleDOI
The radial velocity curve of HD 153919 (4U 1700-37) revisited ?
TL;DR: In this article, all available high-resolution ultraviolet IUE spectra of the high-mass X-ray binary HD 153919/4U 1700-37 were re-analysed and the radial velocity semi-amplitude of 20:6 1: 0k m s 1 and orbital eccentricity of 0:22 0:04 were obtained.

TL;DR: The Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects (ChIcAGO) survey as mentioned in this paper was designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the AGPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction and distance to anomalous x-ray pulsars from x-ray scattering halos
TL;DR: In this article, surface brightness distributions from EPIC-pn data obtained with XMM-Newton were obtained, and fit with a model based on the standard theory of X-ray scattering by dust grains, both for a uniform distribution of dust along the line of sight, and for dust distributions constrained by previous measurements.
