Formation of Short-Period Binary Pulsars in Globular Clusters
Formation of Short-Period Binary Pulsars in Globular Clusters
We present a new dynamical scenario for the formation of short-period binary millisecond pulsars in globular clusters. Our work is motivated by the recent observations of 20 radio pulsars in 47 Tuc. In a dense cluster such as 47 Tuc, most neutron stars acquire binary companions through exchange interactions with …
