    Abstract The Fast Folding Algorithm (FFA) is a phase-coherent search technique for periodic signals. It has rarely been used in radio pulsar searches, having been historically supplanted by the less computationally expensive Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with incoherent harmonic summing (IHS). Here we derive from first principles that an FFA search closely approaches the theoretical optimum sensitivity to all periodic signals; it is analytically shown to be significantly more sensitive than the standard FFT+IHS method, regardless of pulse period and duty cycle. A portion of the pulsar phase space has thus been systematically under-explored for decades; pulsar surveys aiming to fully sample the pulsar population should include an FFA search as part of their data analysis. We have developed an FFA software package, riptide, fast enough to process radio observations on a large scale; riptide has already discovered sources undetectable using existing FFT+IHS implementations. Our sensitivity comparison between search techniques also shows that a more realistic radiometer equation is needed, which includes an additional term: the search efficiency. We derive the theoretical efficiencies of both the FFA and the FFT+IHS methods and discuss how excluding this term has consequences for pulsar population synthesis studies.

    Abstract Reliable neutron star mass measurements are key to determining the equation of state of cold nuclear matter, but such measurements are rare. Black widows and redbacks are compact binaries consisting of millisecond pulsars and semi-degenerate companion stars. Spectroscopy of the optically bright companions can determine their radial velocities, providing inclination-dependent pulsar mass estimates. Although inclinations can be inferred from subtle features in optical light curves, such estimates may be systematically biased due to incomplete heating models and poorly understood variability. Using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope, we have searched for gamma-ray eclipses from 49 spider systems, discovering significant eclipses in 7 systems, including the prototypical black widow PSR B1957+20. Gamma-ray eclipses require direct occultation of the pulsar by the companion, and so the detection, or significant exclusion, of a gamma-ray eclipse strictly limits the binary inclination angle, providing new robust, model-independent pulsar mass constraints. For PSR B1957+20, the eclipse implies a much lighter pulsar (1.81 ± 0.07 solar masses) than inferred from optical light curve modelling.

    Abstract Pulsar Timing Array experiments probe the presence of possible scalar or pseudoscalar ultralight dark matter particles through decade-long timing of an ensemble of galactic millisecond radio pulsars. With the second data release of the European Pulsar Timing Array, we focus on the most robust scenario, in which dark matter interacts only gravitationally with ordinary baryonic matter. Our results show that ultralight particles with masses 10^{-24.0}  eV≲m≲10^{-23.3}  eV cannot constitute 100% of the measured local dark matter density, but can have at most local density ρ≲0.3  GeV/cm^{3}.

    Abstract PSR B1931+24 (J1933+2421) behaves as an ordinary isolated radio pulsar during active phases that are 5 to 10 days long. However, when the radio emission ceases, it switches off in less than 10 seconds and remains undetectable for the next 25 to 35 days, then switches on again. This pattern repeats quasi-periodically. The origin of this behavior is unclear. Even more remarkably, the pulsar rotation slows down 50% faster when it is on than when it is off. This indicates a massive increase in magnetospheric currents when the pulsar switches on, proving that pulsar wind plays a substantial role in pulsar spin-down. This allows us, for the first time, to estimate the magnetospheric currents in a pulsar magnetosphere during the occurrence of radio emission.

    Abstract Ovaries from 63 bandicoots (Isoodon macrourus and Perameles nasuta) were collected in order to obtain Graafian follicles close to ovulation for light and electron microscopy. During the first 42 days of lactation (lactation c. 60 days), the follicles were less than 1.0 mm in diameter, whereas from 43 to 52 days, some animals had follicles up to 2.0 mm in diameter, or ovulation had occurred and new corpora lutea were present. This ovulation was associated with the lactation estrus that occurred in some animals. In general, the largest Graafian follicles of the bandicoots were morphologically similar and resembled those of many other mammals. These follicles protruded from the surface of the ovary and revealed a conspicuous theca interna. The granulosa cells exhibited an unusual feature in that they contained masses of glycogen, often associated with lipid droplets and filaments. The oocytes were similar in size (diameter c. 150 microns) to those of some other marsupials and were surrounded by a zona pellucida and cumulus cells attached to the granulosa layer. The cumulus cells did not form a corona radiata as in eutherian mammals. The oocyte nuclei were somewhat flattened, peripherally located and similar in size (c. 40 x 19 microns) to those in other marsupials. These nuclei, which stained lightly with Azure A and were electron-lucent and homogeneous, were unusually irregular in contour. The nuclei were unique in that nucleoli were always absent. Small cytoplasmic bodies which may have been extruded nucleoli were found in the oocytes of I. macrourus, but not in P. nasuta. The cytoplasm in the bandicoot oocytes resembled that of other marsupials and some eutherians in that it was highly vacuolated with most of the organelles concentrated peripherally. Within the central region of the bandicoot oocytes there were crystalloids which were similar to those in oocytes of primordial follicles and in unilaminar blastocysts of I. macrourus.
