ABSTRACT We present the first multiband optical light curves of PSR J1622−0315, among most compact known redback binary millisecond pulsars, with an orbital period $P_\mathrm{orb}=3.9 \, \text{h}$. find a flux modulation two maxima per cycle and peak-to-peak amplitude ${\simeq} 0.3 \text{mag}$, which we attribute to ellipsoidal shape tidally distorted companion star. The colours imply late-F early-G spectral-type do not show any detectable temperature changes along orbit. This suggests that...

ABSTRACT Radio emission from pulsars can be used to map out their distances through dispersion measure (DM), which quantifies the amount of radio pulse dispersion. However, this method relies on accurately modelling free electron density in line sight. Here, we present a detailed study multiwavelength PSR J1720−0534, black widow compact binary millisecond pulsar discovered 2021, latest model Galaxy places at only 191 pc. We obtained and analysed deep observations γ-ray (Fermi-Large Area...

Abstract The companion to PSR J1622-0315, one of the most compact known redback millisecond pulsars, shows extremely low irradiation despite its short orbital period. We model this system determine binary parameters, combining optical observations from New Technology Telescope in 2017 and Nordic Optical 2022 with modeling code ICARUS . find a best-fit neutron star mass 2.3 ± 0.4 M ⊙ , 0.15 0.02 detect for first time low-level asymmetry minima as well change maxima light curves over five...

Radio emission from pulsars can be used to map out their distances through dispersion measure (DM), which quantifies the amount of radio pulse dispersion. However, this method relies on accurately modeling free electron density in line sight. Here, we present a detailed study multi-wavelength PSR J1720-0534, black widow compact binary millisecond pulsar discovered 2021, latest model Galaxy (YMW16; Yao et al. 2017) places at only 191 pc. We obtained and analyzed deep observations $\gamma$-ray...

The companion to PSR J1622-0315, one of the most compact known redback millisecond pulsars, shows extremely low irradiation despite its short orbital period.

We present the first multi-band optical light curves of PSR J1622-0315, among most compact known redback binary millisecond pulsars, with an orbital period Porb=3.9 h. find a flux modulation two maxima per cycle and peak-to-peak amplitude about 0.3 mag, which we attribute to ellipsoidal shape tidally distorted companion star. The colours imply late-F early-G spectral type do not show any detectable temperature changes along orbit. This suggests that irradiation star's inner face by pulsar...
