We present a multi-frequency study of eclipse properties of a transitional redback millisecond pulsar J1227$-$4853 discovered in 2014 with the GMRT. Emission from this pulsar is eclipsed at 607 MHz for about 37% of its orbit around the…

The energetic, eclipsing millisecond pulsar J1816+4510 was recently discovered in a low-frequency radio survey with the Green Bank Telescope. With an orbital period of 8.7 hr and minimum companion mass of 0.16 Msun it appears to belong to…

PSR J0955$-$6150 is a member of a class of eccentric MSP+He WD systems (eMSPs), whose binary evolution is poorly understood and believed to be different to that of traditional MSP+He WD systems. Measuring the masses of the stars in this…

PSR J1928+1815 is a 10.55 ms millisecond pulsar in a 3.6 hr orbit with a massive ($1.0$-$1.6\,M_{\odot}$) companion that produces extended radio eclipses. The companion, proposed to be a stripped helium star, is undetected in optical and…

We have investigated the eclipse of the 23-ms pulsar J0737-3039A by its 2.8-s companion PSR J0737-3039B in the recently discovered double pulsar system using data taken with the Green Bank Telescope at 820 MHz. We find that the pulsed flux…

We report on the discovery of four millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) pulsar survey being conducted at the Parkes 64-m radio telescope. All four MSPs are in binary systems and are likely to have white…

We present an optical, X-ray, and $\gamma$-ray study of 1SXPS J042749.2-670434, an eclipsing X-ray binary which has an associated $\gamma$-ray counterpart, 4FGL J0427.8-6704. This association has led to the source being classified as a…

We present timing and orbital phase-resolved polarimetry of the millisecond pulsar (MSP) J2101$-$4802, having a spin period of 9.48~ms and dispersion measure (DM) $25.05\ \mathrm{pc\ cm^{-3}}$ discovered with the Giant Meter Radio Telescope…

We report the discovery of an eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster M92 (NGC6341) with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). PSR J1717+4308A, or M92A, has a pulse frequency of 316.5~Hz…

We present the discovery of six millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) survey for pulsars and fast transients carried out with the Parkes radio telescope. All six are in binary systems with approximately…

We report on an unusually bright observation of PSR J2051$-$0827 recorded during a regular monitoring campaign of black-widow pulsar systems with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. Through fortunate coincidence, a particularly bright…

We interpret the unique high-energy spectrum of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0218+4232 within polar cap scenarios. We show that the spectral data from BeppoSAX (Mineo et al.2000) and EGRET (Kuiper et al 2000) impose very restrictive…

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 searched for eclipses of two millisecond pulsars, PSR J1807-2459 and PSR B1908+00. These pulsars are in very low mass binary systems with orbital parameters similar to those of eclipsing binaries. Observations were made with the GBT at…
