Optical Observations of the Binary Pulsar System PSR B1718-19: Implications for Tidal Circularization
M. H. van Kerkwijk,Victoria M. Kaspi,Arnold R. Klemola,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Andrew Lyne,D. Van Buren +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Keck and Hubble Space Telescope optical observations of the eclipsing binary pulsar system PSR B1718-19, in the direction of the globular cluster NGC 6342, reveal a faint star within the pulsar's 0/farcs5 radius positional error circle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep Radio, Optical, and Infrared Observations of SGR 1900+14
TL;DR: In this article, HST/STIS, Keck J-and K_s-band, and VLA 332-MHz and 1400-MHz images of the region around the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR 1900+14 were presented.
Journal Article

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present preliminary results of the X-ray part of an extensive multi-wavelength study of bright OB- and OBe-type stars, aimed at finding evidence for the existence of white-dwarf companions to be stars.

TL;DR: The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei as mentioned in this paper, and magnetic field strengths can exceed the strongest fields generated in terrestrial laboratories by ten orders of magnitude.
Using Giant Pulses to Measure the Impulse Response of the Interstellar Medium
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a sparse approximation method to detect 13,025 giant pulses directly in the baseband data of two observations of PSR B1937+21 and showed that the resulting wavefield has the expected parabolic shape with several diffuse structures within it, suggesting the presence of multiple scattering locations along the line of sight.
