    PSR J1744-3922: Hint of a New Binary Pulsar Class
    Standard binary evolution models of pulsars in very circular orbits can explain systems with lighter companions and weaker magnetic fields: they are descended...

    Radio non-detection of SAX J1808.4-3658
    We have observed the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 in its current outburst (ATel #1728, #1732, #1733) in the radio band with the Australia...

    Recent activity of the Be/X-ray binary system SAX J2103.5+4545
    Aims: We present a multiwavelength study of the Be/X-ray binary system SAX J2103.5+4545 with the goal of better characterizing the transient behaviour of this...

    Recent optical variability in LSI +61 303
    We have been monitoring the optical counterpart of the TeV emitting binary LSI +61 303 (V615 Cas) since November 2005 with the Faulkes Telescope North (on...

    Reflections on the discovery of pulsars
    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...

    Retuning radio astronomy for axion dark matter with neutron stars
    A model is constructed to predict the emission originating from axion-to-photon conversion in the strongly magnetized ultrarelativistic plasma of neutron stars...
