In this talk I will summarise the events that led to the discovery of the first four pulsars, recount several instances where pulsars were almost discovered and...
Renewed optical and X-ray activity in IGR J00291+5934
We report a re-brightening of the millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934. In August the source performed an outburst which was detected in X-ray, UV and...
RXTE Detects 245 Hz X-ray Pulsations from IGR J17511-305
RXTE PCA Bulge scans detected activity of what appeared to be a known source. However, based on the results presented below, and the report of a new INTEGRAL...
SAXJ1808.4-3658: high-resolution spectroscopy and decrease of pulsed fraction at low energies
XMM-Newton observed the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2008 outburst. We present timing and spectral analyses of this observation, in...
Search for Very High Energy Gamma-ray Emission from Pulsar-Pulsar Wind Nebula Systems with the MAGIC Telescope
The MAGIC collaboration has searched for high-energy gamma-ray emission of some of the most promising pulsar candidates above an energy threshold of 50 GeV, an...
Search for VHE gamma-ray emission from Geminga pulsar and nebula with the MAGIC telescopes
The Geminga pulsar, one of the brighest gamma-ray sources, is a promising candidate for emission of very-high-energy (VHE > 100 GeV) pulsed gamma rays. Also...
Searching for optical companions to four binary millisecond pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
We report on multiband photometric observations of four binary millisecond pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The observations led to detection of...
Self-consistent models for Coulomb heated X-ray pulsar atmospheres
Calculations of accreting magnetized neutron star atmospheres heated by the gradual deceleration of protons via Coulomb collisions are presented. Self...
Spectral evidence for jets from Accreting Millisecond X-ray Pulsars
Transient radio emission from X-ray binaries is associated with synchrotron emission from collimated jets that escape the system, and accreting millisecond X...
