Follow-up RXTE PCA observations of the transient source consistent with the position of SAX J1808.4-3658 (ATEL#505) showed clear coherent pulsations at...
PSR B0656+14: the unified outlook from the infrared to X-rays
We report detection of PSR B0656+14 with the Gran Telescopio Canarias in narrow optical F657, F754, F802, and F902 and near-infrared JHK s bands. The pulsar...
PSR J0210+5845: Ultra-wide binary pulsar with a B6 V main sequence star companion
We report on radio timing observations of PSR J0210+5845 that reveal large deviations from typical pulsar spin-down behaviour. We interpret these deviations as...
Standard binary evolution models of pulsars in very circular orbits can explain systems with lighter companions and weaker magnetic fields: they are descended...
We have observed the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 in its current outburst (ATel #1728, #1732, #1733) in the radio band with the Australia...
Radio upper limits for the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J17511-3057
We report on recent radio observations of the newly-detected accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar, IGR J17511-3057 (ATels #2196, #2197, #2198, #2199, #2215, #2216...
Recent activity of the Be/X-ray binary system SAX J2103.5+4545
Aims: We present a multiwavelength study of the Be/X-ray binary system SAX J2103.5+4545 with the goal of better characterizing the transient behaviour of this...
We have been monitoring the optical counterpart of the TeV emitting binary LSI +61 303 (V615 Cas) since November 2005 with the Faulkes Telescope North (on...
In this talk I will summarise the events that led to the discovery of the first four pulsars, recount several instances where pulsars were almost discovered and...
