“…This value is somewhat smaller than that of the Galactic Centre radio transients (α=−1.2). The estimated index (α < −1.29) of the source is in agreement with the typical pulsar spectrum (α=−1.75) obtained using statistics of the spectral indices of 285 radio pulsars between 400 and 1400 MHz (Seiradakis & Wielebinski 2004).…”

A unique transient bursting radio source, GCRT J1745−3009, has been discovered near the direction of the Galactic Centre. The explanation of this phenomenon is still an open question, although some efforts to understand its nature have been made. This Letter shows that most of the observed features can be reproduced by our proposed precessing pulsar model. It is found that the precession angle of the pulsar should be larger (≳15°) than that of previously known precessing pulsars, which have a precession angle ≲10°, if the beam width of the pulsar is larger than 10°. The pulsar could be a nulling (or even extremely nulling) radio pulsars to account for the transient nature of the source. This model can be confirmed if a pulsar is detected at the position of the source. The pulsar could hardly be a normal neutron star (but could probably be a solid quark star) if the spin period of the pulsar is detected to be ≳10 ms in the future.

We review the main properties, demographics and applications of binary and millisecond radio pulsars. Our knowledge of these exciting objects has greatly increased in recent years, mainly due to successful surveys which have brought the known pulsar population to over 1800. There are now 83 binary and millisecond pulsars associated with the disk of our Galaxy, and a further 140 pulsars in 26 of the Galactic globular clusters. Recent highlights include the discovery of the young relativistic binary system PSR J1906+0746, a rejuvination in globular cluster pulsar research including growing numbers of pulsars with masses in excess of 1.5 M⊙, a precise measurement of relativistic spin precession in the double pulsar system and a Galactic millisecond pulsar in an eccentric (e = 0.44) orbit around an unevolved companion.Electronic Supplementary MaterialSupplementary material is available for this article at 10.12942/lrr-2008-8.

“…Two recent textbooks, Pulsar Astronomy [200] and Handbook of Pulsar Astronomy [185], cover the literature and techniques and provide excellent further reading. The morphological properties of pulsars have recently been comprehensively discussed in two recent reviews [286, 280]. Those wishing to approach the subject from a more theoretical viewpoint are advised to read The Theory of Neutron Star Magnetospheres [218] and The Physics of the Pulsar Magnetosphere [32].…”

There are now 80 binary and millisecond pulsars associated with the disk of our Galaxy, and a further 103 pulsars in 24 of the Galactic globular clusters. Recent highlights have been the discovery of the first ever double pulsar system and a recent flurry of discoveries in globular clusters, in particular Terzan 5.Electronic Supplementary MaterialSupplementary material is available for this article at 10.12942/lrr-2005-7.
