Pulsars in globular clusters

The tables below list all globular clusters with known pulsars and all the pulsars in them (see ASCII version of the latter). We give relevant references on each pulsar whenever they are available, please cite these if possible. At the bottom, we also list the history of changes to this page. We hope you find these tables useful! If you do, please footnote the URL in your paper. Thanks!

Notes in this table:
  • Pulsar names are as indicated in the latest literature. If there is no available position, the name will refer, by default, to the coordinates of the centre of the cluster. The new ATNF pulsar catalogue retains such names even if, after finding a timing solution, the pulsar's position is found to be different.
  • Pulsars 47 Tuc A and B (ajm+89) have never been confirmed. Pulsar 47 Tuc K (mlj+90), was later found to be the third harmonic of 47 Tuc D (rlm+95).
  • Pulsar Ter 5 B (ljm+90) was later renamed PSR J1744−2444 and suspected of not being associated with the cluster (lmbm00). This is confirmed by the DM distribution of the recent discoveries (rhs+05).
  • An asterisk indicates a parameter is still not well determined - this indicates that there is still no published timing/orbital solution.
  • i - Isolated pulsar.
  • (a) The period and period derivative refer to the epochs indicated in the references.
  • (b) Unit is 10−20, except where a power of 10 is indicated.
  • (c) Listed companion masses are calculated assuming a pulsar mass of 1.35 M and an inclination of 60°. For the cases listed below in red there is further information on the masses of the components, that overrules the values listed in the table. For systems with a total mass measurement, we list total masses with a relative uncertainty better than 10%.
  • (g) Not published yet. Site of discovery indicated.
  1. The latest measurement of the rate of advance of periastron of 47 Tuc H (from frk+17) is 0.06725(19) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 1.665(7) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.51 and mc > 0.173 M respectively. The median of the probability for the mass of the pulsar, assuming a flat cos i distribution, is 1.46 M.
  2. The rate of advance of periastron of NGC 1851A has been measured (rfgr19), it is 0.0129592(16) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 2.4730(6) M. In adition, the Einstein delay has also been measured, γ = 0.0216(9) s. This yields individual masses for the components. The pulsar has a mass of 1.25+0.05−0.06 M, the companion has a mass of 1.22+0.06−0.05 M. The precision of this measurement is affected by kinematic effects on the projected semi-major axis of the system.
  3. The rate of advance of periastron of M5B has been measured at 0.0142(7) °/year (one σ, see fwbh08). Assuming the periastron advance is fully relativistic, the total binary mass is 2.29 ± 0.17 M. The maximum pulsar mass is 2.52 M and mc > 0.13 M. mp is 2.08+0.18−0.19 M (median and 1-σ limits). The probability of having a pulsar mass between 1.2 and 1.44 M is 0.77%.
  4. The mass ratio for PSR J1740−5340 has been measured from spectroscopic measurements of the motion of the companion star (fsg+03) to be mp/mc = 5.85(13). Assuming mp between 1.4 and 1.9 M, this constrains the inclination to be between 47° and 56°.
  5. The rate of advance of periastron of Ter 5 I has been measured (rhs+05), it is 0.255(1) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 2.17(2) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.96 and mc > 0.24 M respectively. Furthermore, the median of the expected pulsar mass (assuming a flat cos i distribution) is 1.87 M.
  6. The rate of advance of periastron of Ter 5 J has been measured (rhs+05), it is 0.327(4) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 2.20(4) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.96 and mc < 0.38 M respectively. The median of the expected pulsar mass (assuming a flat cos i distribution) is 1.73 M.
  7. The rate of advance of periastron of NGC 6440B has been measured (frb+08), it is 0.00391(18) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 2.92(20) M. From this, we can derive mp < 3.24 and mc > 0.11 M respectively. Furthermore, the median and 1-σ limits of the expected pulsar mass (assuming a flat cos i distribution) is 2.74 ± 0.20 M, there is a 1 % chance that the inclination is low enough to make the mass of the pulsar smaller than 2 M. This is by far the largest pulsar mass ever measured.
  8. The rate of advance of periastron of NGC 6441A has been measured (frb+08), it is 0.0055(3) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 1.97(15) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.65 and mc > 0.53 M respectively. The medians for the pulsar and companion masses are 1.26 and 0.67 M. Another measurement of the rate of periastron has been published by pcm+06; this yields a total system mass of 2.15 ± 0.06 M, consistent with the measurement above.
  9. The rate of advance of periastron of PSR B1802−07 has been measured (tc99), it is 0.0578(16) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 1.62(7) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.33 and mc > 0.29 M respectively.
  10. Further constraints on the masses of the components of this system have been obtained from a detection of the rate of advance of periastron, which implies (assuming it is fully caused by relativistic effects) a total mass of 2.57190(73) M. The Shapiro delay was also detected and allows an estimate of the masses of the individual components: mc = 1.2064(20) M (the largest mass ever detected around a fully recycled pulsar, it could be a heavy white dwarf or another neutron star) and mp = 1.3655(21) M. This is the most precise mass ever derived for a millisecond pulsar.
  11. Further constraints on the masses of the components of this system have been obtained by cfr+23b from the Shapiro delay: mc = 0.202 ± 0.006 M and mp = 1.55 ± 0.07 M. These masss values are consistent with previous optical estimates by bkkv06, who obtained the mass ratio from the measured orbital velocity of the white dwarf, 7.36 ± 0.25. Using mass-radius relations appropriate for low-mass helium-core white dwarfs, they infer mc = 0.18 ± 0.02 M, and mp = 1.40+0.16−0.10 M. If the white-dwarf spectrum and the distance of NGC 6752 are used instead to determine the white-dwarf radius, they find rc = 0.058 ± 0.004 R; for the observed temperature, the mass-radius relations predict a white-dwarf mass of mc = 0.175 ± 0.010 M, and thus mp = 1.34 ± 0.08 M. These results are consistent with those of cfpd06.
  12. For the M15 C pulsar - neutron star system, the rate of advance of periastron, the relativistic gamma parameter and the orbital decay due to emission of gravitational waves have been measured, this system is now over-determined and represents therefore the first test of GR for a binary system in a globular cluster (jcj+06). mp = 1.358 ± 0.010 M and mc = 1.354 ± 0.010 M.
  13. The rate of advance of periastron of Ter 5 am has been measured (ar18), it is 0.454(4) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 1.85(2) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.70 and mc < 0.15 M respectively. The median of the expected pulsar mass (assuming a flat cos i distribution) is 1.649 M.
  14. The rate of advance of periastron of M28C has been measured (beg06), it is 0.029816(88) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 1.616(14) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.367 and mc < 0.245 M respectively. The median of the expected pulsar mass (assuming a flat cos i distribution) is 1.31 M.
  15. The rate of advance of periastron of NGC 6624G has been measured (rgf+21), it is 0.217(4) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 2.65(7) M. From this, we can derive mp < 2.4 and mc < 0.44 M respectively. The median of the expected pulsar mass (assuming a flat cos i distribution) is 2.10 M.
  16. The rate of advance of periastron of M30B has been measured (bfr+23), it is 0.078(2) °/year (1-σ). This implies a total system mass of 2.53(8) M. From this, we can derive mp < 1.43 and mc < 1.10 M respectively.




Fig. 2: Mass function plotted against orbital period for all known binary pulsar systems (data from the ATNF pulsar catalogue). The systems in globular clusters are indicated by the red circles; we highlight those in 47 Tuc with a ``+'' and those in Terzan 5 with a "x". Pulsar - neutron star systems are highlighted in purple. The inclined gray lines indicate a constant projected semi-major axis x = a sin i, the smallest on the lower left corner represents x = 1 light millisecond, each successive line represents an increase of x by a factor of 10. The dashed orange lines indicate, for a pulsar mass of 1.4 M and i = 90 degrees, the mass functions for the following companion masses (from top to bottom): 15 M (typical of O/B star companions), 1.4 M (typical of neutron star or heavy ONeMg WD companions), 0.2 M (typical of He WD and ``redback'' companions to millisecond pulsars), 0.03 M (typical of companions to ``black widow'' pulsars) and 0.0015 M (similar to that of the ``diamond planet'' system).
