PSR J1740—3052: a pulsar with a massive companion

IH Stairs, RN Manchester, AG Lyne…�- Monthly Notices of�…, 2001 - academic.oup.com
We report on the discovery of a binary pulsar, PSR J1740—3052, during the Parkes multibeam
survey. Timing observations of the 570-ms pulsar at Jodrell Bank and Parkes show that it …

Coherently dedispersed polarimetry of millisecond pulsars

IH Stairs, SE Thorsett, F Camilo�- The Astrophysical Journal�…, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
