Abstract: Millisecond pulsars are neutron stars that attain their very fast rotation during a 108–109-yr-long phase of disk accretion of matter from a low-mass companion star1,2. They can be detected as accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsars if… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1674-4527/ac3e5e
Abstract: 4FGL J0935.5+0901, a γ-ray source recently identified as a candidate redback-type millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary, shows an interesting feature of having double-peaked emission lines in its optical spectrum. This feature would further suggest the source… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw3057
Abstract: We present the discovery of a variable optical counterpart to the unidentified gamma-ray source 3FGL J0212.1+5320, and argue this is a new compact binary millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate. We show 3FGL J0212.1+5320 hosts a semi-detached… read more here.
