Eight binary millisecond pulsars examined by researchers – Phys.org

Using the Arecibo 305-m radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has investigated eight binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Results of this study, presented in a paper published December 30 on the arXiv pre-print server, provide important information about the properties of these sources.
The most rapidly rotating pulsars, those with rotation periods below 30 milliseconds, are known as millisecond pulsars. It is assumed that they are formed in binary systems when the initially more massive…
