How to measure neutron star masses by timing binary millisecond pulsars 3. Interesting recent measurements of neutron star masses. 4. Why there will be more and better measurements in the future.
2 1. Motivation 2. How to measure neutron star masses by timing binary millisecond pulsars 3. Interesting recent measurements of neutron star masses. 4. Why there will be more and better measurements in the future.
3 Motivation 1. Nuclear equation of state. Fig. 2. Mass-radius diagram for neutron stars. Black (green) curves are for normal matter (SQM) Figure: Lattimer & Prakash 2004 (Science 304: 536)
4 Motivation 2. Pulsar Binary Evolution Figure: NASA Birth Mass + Figure: NASA Accreted Mass (for recycled pulsars) = Observed Mass
5 Motivation 2. Pulsar Binary Evolution Figure: NASA Figure: NASA Birth Mass + Accreted Mass (for recycled pulsars) = Observed Mass LMXB (long accretion phase) MS + MS MS + NS supernova HMXB (short accretion phase) supernova Ablation of companion Additional accretion (black widow & redback systems) Circular Binary White dwarf + Fully Recycled NS ( ms) Eccentric Binary Unrecycled NS + Mildly Recycled NS (20-60 ms)
6 1. Motivation 2. How to measure neutron star masses by timing binary millisecond pulsars 3. Interesting recent measurements of neutron star masses. 4. Why there will be more and better measurements in the future.

Actually, it is a licle more complicated. sun rota4on period rota4on period deriva4ve 4ming noise Keplerian orbital elements rela4vis4c orbital elements kinema4c perturba4ons of orbital elements (secular and annual phenomena) dispersion measure dispersion meas. varia4ons nanohertz gravita4onal waves posi4on proper mo4on parallax solar wind dispersion
9 Timing the pulses. Mapping out an orbit. In classical physics physics (non-relativistic), the orbit is characterized by: orbital period semi-major axis projected along the line-of-sight eccentricity angle of periastron time of periastron passage The motion of the pulsar is determined by the gravitational interaction between the pulsar and companion stars, which depends on the pulsar mass, m 1, and the companion mass, m 2. However, the masses cannot be directly inferred from the parameters listed above. Why not? see next two slides
10 Ambiguities in observations of a classical radio pulsar orbit 1. Orbit inclination is unknown. Δ t orbit viewed edge-on? Δ t orbit not edge-on; observed Δt is the same as edge-on case, but orbit is larger
11 Ambiguities in observations of a classical radio pulsar orbit 2. Characteristics of the companion star and its orbit are unknown.? Companion might be heavy star in small orbit or light star in a large orbit Because of these ambiguities, pulsar timing observations of a classical orbit does not tell us everything we want to know about the orbital system. In particular, we cannot infer either the pulsar mass, m 1, or the companion mass, m 2. We need two additional measurements. 2π P b 2 ( a 1 sini) 3 G ( )3 = f 1 = m sini 2 m 1 + m 2 ( ) 2

Relativistic orbital phenomena
13 Obtaining additional orbital measurements: 2. Classical observations beyond the pulsar binary motion Observation of companion star orbit m 1 m = a 1 sin i 2 a 2 sin i Triple system: pulsar with two companion stars Three-body system cannot be solved analytically. Numerical integration yields mass and inclination values for all three bodies.
