PSR J1618-3921 is one of five known millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in eccentric orbits (eMPSs) located in the Galactic plane, whose formation is poorly understood. Earlier studies of these objects revealed significant discrepancies between…

We report the discovery using the Parkes radio telescope of binary millisecond pulsars in four clusters for which no associated pulsars were previously known. The four pulsars have pulse periods lying between 3 and 6 ms. All are in circular…

Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, a series of observations have been conducted to time the known pulsars and search for new pulsars in the globular cluster NGC 6440. As a result, two pulsars have been discovered, NGC 6440G and NGC 6440H,…

We have discovered 21 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the globular cluster Terzan 5 using the Green Bank Telescope, bringing the total of known MSPs in Terzan 5 to 24. These discoveries confirm fundamental predictions of globular cluster and…

Exploiting a five-year span of data, we present improved timing solutions for the five millisecond pulsars known in the globular cluster NGC 6752. They include proper motion determinations for the two outermost pulsars in the cluster, PSR…

We present the discovery and timing results of 15 pulsars discovered in a high Galactic latitude survey conducted with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST). The survey targeted a region as close as possible to the…

The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey is the most successful survey of the Galactic plane ever performed, finding over 600 pulsars in the initial processing. We report on reprocessing of all 40,000 beams with a number of algorithms, including…

We report on a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of the pulsars in the globular cluster (GC) M5, including the discovery of M5G, a new compact non-eclipsing "black widow" pulsar. Thanks to the analysis of 34 years of radio data taken…

We construct a relativistic model for the newly discovered millisecond pulsar PSR J0514 - 4002A located in the globular cluster NGC 1851 (A. Ridolfi, P.C.C. Freire, Y. Gupta, S.M. Ransom, MNRAS 490, 3860 (2019)) by using Tolman VII…

We report the discovery of PSR J1753-2240 in the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey database. This 95-ms pulsar is in an eccentric binary system with a 13.6-day orbital period. Period derivative measurements imply a characteristic age in excess…

Millisecond pulsars are thought to be neutron stars that have been spun-up by accretion of matter from a binary companion. Although most are in binary systems, some 30% are solitary, and their origin is therefore mysterious. PSR J1719-1438,…
