We conducted a timing analysis of over 18 years of data on the young ($\tau_{\rm c} = 112$ kyr, $P = 114$\,ms) relativistic binary PSR~J1906+0746, using six radio telescopes: Arecibo, FAST, Green Bank, Lovell, MeerKAT, and Nan\c{c}ay. This…

Observations of the 297 s X-ray pulsar 1E1145.1-6141 with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer have revealed its 14.4 d eccentric orbit around its B supergiant companion. The best-fit orbital elements are: P_orb = 14.365(2) d, a_x sin i=99.4(18)…

PSR J1906+0746 is a young pulsar in the relativistic binary with the second-shortest known orbital period, of 3.98 hours. We here present a timing study based on five years of observations, conducted with the 5 largest radio telescopes in…

PSR J0636+5128 is a millisecond pulsar in one of the most compact pulsar binaries known, with a 96\,min orbital period. The pulsar mass function suggests a very low-mass companion, similar to that seen in so-called "black widow" binaries.…
