Empirical birthrate estimates for pulsar binaries depend on the fraction of sky subtended by the pulsar beam: the pulsar beaming fraction. This fraction depends on both the pulsars opening angle and the misalignment angle between its spin and magnetic axes. Previous estimates use the average value for only two pulsars, i.e. PSRs B1913+16 and B1534+12. We explore how birthrate predictions depend on assumptions about opening angle and alignment, using empirically-motivated distributions to define an effective beaming correction factor, f_{b,eff}. For most known pulsars, we expect f_{b,eff} to be less than 6. We also calculate f_{b,eff} for PSRs J0737-3039A and J1141-6545, applying the currently available constraints for their beam geometry. Our median posterior birthrate predictions for tight PSR-NS binaries, wide PSR-NS binaries, and tight PSR-WD binaries are 89/Myr, 0.84/Myr, and 34/Myr, respectively. For pulsars with spin period between 10 ms and 100 ms, we marginalized our posterior birthrate distribution P(R) over a range of plausible beaming correction factors. Our predictions are robust, changing little between several alternative misalignment angle distribution models. [ABRIDGED]

We investigate the spin-period evolutions of recycled pulsars in binary accreting systems. Taking both the accretion induced field decay and spin-up into consideration, we calculate their spin-period evolutions influenced by the initial magnetic-fiel
d strengths, initial spin-periods and accretion rates, respectively. The results indicate that the minimum spin-period (or maximum spin frequency) of millisecond pulsar (MSP) is independent of the initial conditions and accretion rate when the neutron star (NS) accretes $sim> 0.2ms$. The accretion torque with the fastness parameter and gravitational wave (GW) radiation torque may be responsible for the formation of the minimum spin-period (maximum spin frequency). The fastest spin frequency (716 Hz) of MSP can be inferred to associate with a critical fastness parameter about $omega_{c}=0.55$. Furthermore, the comparisons with the observational data are presented in the field-period ($B-P$) diagram.
We study a new class of Radon transforms defined on circular cones called the conical Radon transform. In $mathbb{R}^3$ it maps a function to its surface integrals over circular cones, and in $mathbb{R}^2$ it maps a function to its integrals along tw
o rays with a common vertex. Such transforms appear in various mathematical models arising in medical imaging, nuclear industry and homeland security. This paper contains new results about inversion of conical Radon transform with fixed opening angle and vertical central axis in $mathbb{R}^2$ and $mathbb{R}^3$. New simple explicit inversion formulae are presented in these cases. Numerical simulations were performed to demonstrate the efficiency of the suggested algorithm in 2D.
By considering the advection and interaction of the vector momentum flux in highly supersonic spherically diverging winds, we derive a simple analytic description of the asymptotic opening angle of a wind-collision shock cone, in the approximation th
at the shocked gas is contained in a cone streaming out along a single characteristic opening angle. Both highly radiative and highly adiabatic limits are treated, and their comparison is the novel result. Analytic closed-form expressions are obtained for the inferred wind momentum ratios as a function of the observed shock opening angle, allowing the conspicuous shape of the asymptotic bow shock to be used as a preliminary constraint on more detailed modeling of the colliding winds. In the process, we explore from a general perspective the limitations in applying to the global shock geometry the so-called Dyson approximation, which asserts a local balance in the perpendicular ram pressure across the shock.
Pulsars are famed for their rotational clock-like stability and their highly-repeatable pulse shapes. However, it has long been known that there are unexplained deviations (often termed timing noise) from the rate at which we predict these clocks sho
uld run. We show that timing behaviour often results from typically two different spin-down rates. Pulsars switch abruptly between these states, often quasi-periodically, leading to the observed spin-down patterns. We show that for six pulsars the timing noise is correlated with changes in the pulse shape. Many pulsar phenomena including mode-changing, nulling, intermittency, pulse shape variability and timing noise are therefore linked and caused by changes in the pulsars magnetosphere. We consider the possibility that high-precision monitoring of pulse profiles could lead to the formation of highly-stable pulsar clocks.
We present results of more than three decades of timing measurements of the first known binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16. Like most other pulsars, its rotational behavior over such long time scales is significantly affected by small-scale irregularities n
ot explicitly accounted for in a deterministic model. Nevertheless, the physically important astrometric, spin, and orbital parameters are well determined and well decoupled from the timing noise. We have determined a significant result for proper motion, $mu_{alpha} = -1.43pm0.13$, $mu_{delta}=-0.70pm0.13$ mas yr$^{-1}$. The pulsar exhibited a small timing glitch in May 2003, with ${Delta f}/f=3.7times10^{-11}$, and a smaller timing peculiarity in mid-1992. A relativistic solution for orbital parameters yields improved mass estimates for the pulsar and its companion, $m_1=1.4398pm0.0002 M_{sun}$ and $m_2=1.3886pm0.0002 M_{sun}$. The systems orbital period has been decreasing at a rate $0.997pm0.002$ times that predicted as a result of gravitational radiation damping in general relativity. As we have shown before, this result provides conclusive evidence for the existence of gravitational radiation as predicted by Einsteins theory.
