We report on the optical identification of the companion to the eclipsing millisecond pulsar PSR J1701$-$3006B in the globular cluster NGC 6266. A relatively bright star with an anomalous red colour and an optical variability ($sim$ 0.2 mag) that nicely correlates with the orbital period of the pulsar ($sim$ 0.144 days) has been found nearly coincident with the pulsar nominal position. This star is also found to lie within the error box position of an X-ray source detected by Chandra observations, thus supporting the hypothesis that some interaction is occurring between the pulsar wind and the gas streaming off the companion. Although the shape of the optical light curve is suggestive of a tidally deformed star which has nearly completely filled its Roche lobe, the luminosity ($sim 1.9 L_odot$) and the surface temperature ($sim 6000$ K) of the star, deduced from the observed magnitude and colours, would imply a stellar radius significantly larger than the Roche lobe radius. Possible explanations for this apparent inconsistency are discussed.
PSR,J1723$-$2837 is a redback millisecond pulsar (MSP) with a low-mass companion in a 14.8,h orbit. The systems properties closely resemble those of transitional MSPs that alternate between spin-down and accretion-powered states. In this paper we rep
Using results from radio and X-ray observations of millisecond pulsars in 47 Tucanae, and extensive HST U, V, I imaging of the globular cluster core, we have derived a common astrometric solution good to < 0.1. A close positional coincidence is found
We have used phase-resolved high-resolution images and low resolution spectra taken at the ESO Very Large Telescope, to study the properties of the low-mass Helium White Dwarf companion to the millisecond pulsar psr (hereafter COM J1911$-$5958A), in
We present the discovery of a binary millisecond pulsar (MSP), PSR J2322$-$2650, found in the Southern section of the High Time Resolution Universe survey. This system contains a 3.5-ms pulsar with a $sim10^{-3}$ M$_{odot}$ companion in a 7.75-hour c
We report identification of the optical counterpart to the companion of the millisecond pulsar J2317+1439. At the timing position of the pulsar, we find an object with $g=22.96pm0.05$, $r=22.86pm0.04$ and $i=22.82pm0.05$. The magnitudes and colors of
