Transient radio bursts from rotating neutron stars

MA McLaughlin, AG Lyne, DR Lorimer, M Kramer… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
The radio sky is relatively unexplored for transient signals 1 , although the potential of radio-transient
searches is high. This was demonstrated recently by the discovery of a previously …

The host galaxy and redshift of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102

…, N Maddox, B Marcote, MA McLaughlin… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first
unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability p≲ 3× 10− 4) of an FRB with an …

A massive pulsar in a compact relativistic binary

…, VI Kondratiev, N Langer, TR Marsh, MA McLaughlin… - Science, 2013 - science.org
Introduction Neutron stars with masses above 1.8 solar masses (M ☉ ), possess extreme
gravitational fields, which may give rise to phenomena outside general relativity. These strong-…

A bright millisecond radio burst of extragalactic origin

DR Lorimer, M Bailes, MA McLaughlin, DJ Narkevic… - Science, 2007 - science.org
Pulsar surveys offer a rare opportunity to monitor the radio sky for impulsive burst-like
events with millisecond durations. We analyzed archival survey data and found a 30-jansky …

The NANOGrav nine-year data set: mass and geometric measurements of binary millisecond pulsars

We analyze 24 binary radio pulsars in the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational
Waves (NANOGrav) nine-year data set. We make 14 significant measurements of the …

Refined mass and geometric measurements of the high-mass PSR J0740+ 6620

…, A McEwen, JW McKee, MA McLaughlin… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We report results from continued timing observations of PSR J0740+ 6620, a high-mass, 2.8
ms radio pulsar in orbit with a likely ultracool white dwarf companion. Our data set consists …

The NANOGrav 12.5 yr data set: search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background

We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the 12.5 yr
pulsar-timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational …

Relativistic Shapiro delay measurements of an extremely massive millisecond pulsar

…, MT Lam, DR Lorimer, RS Lynch, MA McLaughlin… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Despite its importance to our understanding of physics at supranuclear densities, the equation
of state (EoS) of matter deep within neutron stars remains poorly understood. Millisecond …
