Abstract

UNLABELLED

Our knowledge of binary and millisecond pulsars has greatly increased in recent years. This is largely due to the success of large-area surveys which have brought the known population of such systems in the Galactic disk to around 50. As well as being interesting as a population of astronomical sources, many pulsars turn out to be superb celestial clocks. In this review we summarise the main properties of binary and millisecond pulsars and highlight some of their applications to relativistic astrophysics.

摘要

未标注

近年来，我们对双星和毫秒脉冲星的了解有了极大的增长。这主要归功于大面积巡天的成功，这些巡天将银河系盘中此类系统的已知数量增加到了约50个。除了作为一类天文源很有趣之外，许多脉冲星还被证明是超棒的天体时钟。在这篇综述中，我们总结了双星和毫秒脉冲星的主要特性，并强调了它们在相对论天体物理学中的一些应用。
