Evidence of intra-binary shock emission from the redback pulsar PSR J1048+2339
Evidence of intra-binary shock emission from the redback pulsar PSR J1048+2339
We present simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the 4.66 ms redback pulsar PSR J1048+2339. We performed phase-resolved spectroscopy with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) searching for signatures of a residual accretion disk or intra-binary shock emission, constraining the companion radial velocity semi-amplitude ( K 2 ), and estimating the neutron star …
