PSR J1744-3922 is a binary pulsar exhibiting highly variable pulsed radio emission. We report on a statistical multi-frequency study of the pulsed radio flux variability which suggests that this phenomenon is extrinsic to the pulsar and…
We present the first measurement of pulse scattering close to the eclipse region of PSR B1957+20, which is in a compact binary system with a low-mass star. We measured pulse scattering time-scales up to 0.2 ms close to the eclipse and…
PSR J1518+4904 is a recently discovered 40.9~ms pulsar in an 8.6 day, moderately eccentric orbit. We have measured pulse arrival times for this pulsar over 1.4~yr at several radio frequencies, from which we have derived high precision…
We report on timing observations of the recently discovered binary pulsar PSR J1952+2630 using the Arecibo Observatory. The mildly recycled 20.7-ms pulsar is in a 9.4-hr orbit with a massive, M_WD > 0.93 M_sun, white dwarf (WD) companion.…
We searched for circumbinary planets orbiting NY Vir in historical eclipse times including our long-term CCD data. Sixty-eight times of minimum light with accuracies better than 10 s were used for the ephemeris computations. The best fit to…
We have identified an optical binary with orbital period P_b=4488s as the probable counterpart of the Fermi source 2FGL J1653.6-0159. Although pulsations have not yet been detected, the source properties are consistent with an evaporating…
We discuss four recycled pulsars found in Arecibo drift-scan searches. PSR J1944+0907 has a spin period of 5.2 ms and is isolated. The 5.8-ms pulsar J1453+19 may have a low-mass companion. We discuss these pulsars in the context of isolated…
Previous timing data for PSR~B1620$-$26 were consistent with a second companion mass $m_2$ anywhere in the range $\sim10^{-3}-1\,M_\odot$, i.e., from a Jupiter-type planet to a star. We present the latest timing parameters for the system,…
Using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), we have discovered PSR J0514-4002A, a binary millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster NGC 1851. This pulsar has a rotational period of 4.99 ms and the most eccentric pulsar orbit yet…
The first eclipsing binary pulsar, PSR B1957+20, was discovered in 1987. Since then, 13 other eclipsing low-mass binary pulsars have been found, 12 of these are in globular clusters. In this paper we list the known eclipsing binary pulsars…
We report the results of timing observations of PSR J1952+2630, a 20.7 ms pulsar in orbit with a massive white dwarf companion. With the increased timing baseline, we obtain improved estimates for astrometric, spin, and binary parameters…
As presented by Nice et al. (2000), long-term timing of the eclipsing binary PSR B1744-24A shows that the orbital period of this system decreases with a time-scale of only ~ 200 Myr. To explain the much faster orbital period decay than that…
IGR J16493-4348 is an eclipsing supergiant high-mass X-ray binary (sgHMXB), where accretion onto the compact object occurs via the radially outflowing stellar wind of its early B-type companion. We present an analysis of the system's X-ray…
PSR J1024$-$0719 is a millisecond pulsar that was long thought to be isolated. However, puzzling results concerning its velocity, distance, and low rotational period derivative have led to reexamination of its properties. We present updated…
We present results of more than three decades of timing measurements of the first known binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16. Like most other pulsars, its rotational behavior over such long time scales is significantly affected by small-scale…
We present a new analysis of the light curve for the secondary star in the eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar system PSR B1957+20. Combining previous data and new data points at minimum from the Hubble Space Telescope, we have 100%…
The unusually large eccentricity ($e_1=0.025$) of the low-mass binary millisecond pulsar PSR B1620-26 can be explained naturally as arising from the secular perturbation of a second, more distant companion. Such a triple configuration has…
In this work, we report the discovery and characterization of PSR J1411+2551, a new binary pulsar discovered in the Arecibo 327 MHz Drift Pulsar Survey. Our timing observations of the radio pulsar in the system span a period of about 2.5…
We report here results from pulse arrival time delay analysis of the eclipsing high mass X-ray binary pulsar LMC X-4 using observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and AstroSat. Combining the orbital…
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…
