High Energy Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce high energy astrophysics in the context of galaxies and the origin of cosmic rays in our galaxy, as well as the acceleration of high energy particles in magnetic fields.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and evolution of binary and millisecond radio pulsars
TL;DR: In this article, the formation processes of neutron stars in interacting binaries, and the subsequent evolution of such systems are discussed, as well as the effect of various types of accretion (from a stellar wind and by Roche-lobe overflow) on the spin evolution of accreting magnetized neutron stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of pulsar magnetospheres
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of fundamental physical problems directly related to how pulsars function are discussed, some of which are independent of the specific pulsar mechanism and others relate directly to the physics of the pulsar and already shed some light on the properties of matter at high density and in strong magnetic fields.

High birth velocities of radio pulsars
Andrew Lyne,Duncan R. Lorimer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mean pulsar birth velocities of 450 ± 90 km s−1 have been derived, which exceeds the escape velocity from binary systems, globular clusters and the Galaxy and so will affect our understanding of the retention of neutron stars in these systems.
