PSR J1910-5959A is a binary pulsar with a helium white dwarf companion located about 6 arcmin from the center of the globular cluster NGC6752. Based on 12 years of observations at the Parkes radio telescope, the relativistic Shapiro delay…

Of the more than $3{,}000$ radio pulsars currently known, only ${\sim}300$ are in binary systems, and only five of these consist of young pulsars with massive non-degenerate companions. We present the discovery and initial timing,…

PSR J1802-2124 is a 12.6-ms pulsar in a 16.8-hour binary orbit with a relatively massive white dwarf (WD) companion. These properties make it a member of the intermediate-mass class of binary pulsar (IMBP) systems. We have been timing this…

This paper presents the first detection of Shapiro delay from the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1811-2405. We report a 11-${\sigma}$ measurement of the orthometric amplitude, h$_3$=6.8(6)x10$^{-7}$, and a 16-${\sigma}$ measurement of the…
