Rotating stars in relativity

N Stergioulas - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2003 - Springer
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically
and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state …

Gamma-ray binaries and related systems

G Dubus - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2013 - Springer
After initial claims and a long hiatus, it is now established that several binary stars emit high-
(0.1–100 GeV) and very high-energy (> 100 GeV) gamma rays. A new class has emerged …

Swings between rotation and accretion power in a binary millisecond pulsar

A Papitto, C Ferrigno, E Bozzo, N Rea, L Pavan… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
It is thought that neutron stars in low-mass binary systems can accrete matter and angular
momentum from the companion star and be spun-up to millisecond rotational periods …

A state change in the missing link binary pulsar system PSR J1023+ 0038

BW Stappers, AM Archibald, JWT Hessels… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present radio and γ-ray observations, which, along with concurrent X-ray observations,
reveal that the binary millisecond pulsar (MSP)/low-mass X-ray binary transition system PSR …

Formation of millisecond pulsars with CO white dwarf companions–II. Accretion, spin-up, true ages and comparison to MSPs with He white dwarf companions

TM Tauris, N Langer, M Kramer - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Millisecond pulsars are mainly characterized by their spin periods, B-fields and masses–
quantities that are largely affected by previous interactions with a companion star in a binary …

Formation of black widows and redbacks—two distinct populations of eclipsing binary millisecond pulsars

HL Chen, X Chen, TM Tauris, Z Han - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Eclipsing binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs; the so-called black widows and redbacks) can
provide important information about accretion history, pulsar irradiation of their companion …

Evolution towards and beyond accretion-induced collapse of massive white dwarfs and formation of millisecond pulsars

TM Tauris, D Sanyal, SC Yoon, N Langer - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 - aanda.org
Context. Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are generally believed to be old neutron stars (NSs),
formed via type Ib/c core-collapse supernovae (SNe), which have been spun up to high …

Transitional millisecond pulsars

A Papitto, D Martino - Millisecond Pulsars, 2021 - Springer
Millisecond pulsars in tight binaries have recently challenged our understanding of physical
processes governing the evolution of binaries and the interaction between astrophysical …

Understanding the evolution of close binary systems with radio pulsars

OG Benvenuto, MA De Vito… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We calculate the evolution of close binary systems (CBSs) formed by a neutron star
(behaving as a radio pulsar) and a normal donor star, which evolve either to a helium white …

General-relativistic simulations of four states of accretion onto millisecond pulsars

K Parfrey, A Tchekhovskoy - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Accreting neutron stars can power a wide range of astrophysical phenomena including short-
and long-duration gamma-ray bursts, ultra-luminous X-ray sources, and X-ray binaries …
