We consider the newly found high mass and low magnetic field binary pulsar PSR J1614-2230 in a model in which magnetars owe their strong magnetic fields to a high baryon density, magnetized core. In our magnetar model all neutron stars…

While the majority of massive stars have a stellar companion, most pulsars appear to be isolated. Taken at face value, this suggests that most massive binaries break apart due to strong natal kicks received in supernova explosions. However,…

Observations of binary pulsars and pulsars in globular clusters suggest that at least some pulsars must receive weak natal kicks at birth. If all pulsars received strong natal kicks above \unit[50]{\kms}, those born in globular clusters…
