Pulsars are known for their superb timing precision, although glitches can interrupt the regular timing behavior when the stars are young. These glitches are thought to be caused by interactions between normal and superfluid matter in the crust of the star. However, glitching pulsars such as Vela have been shown to require a superfluid reservoir that greatly exceeds that available in the crust. We examine a model in which glitches tap the superfluid in the core. We test a variety of theoretical superfluid models against the most recent glitch data and find that only one model can successfully explain up to 45 years of observational data. We develop a new technique for combining radio and x-ray data to measure pulsar masses, thereby demonstrating how current and future telescopes can probe fundamental physics such as superfluidity near nuclear saturation.

Abstract The authors present a new technique for tamponade of the nasopharynx after the performance of a transnasosphenoidal approach to the hypophysis. This technique consists of placing a Foley balloon catheter in each nasal cavity, extending to the nasopharynx. The position of the balloons and the adequacy of the amount of radiopaque substance used to fill them is determined with x-ray films or a television image intensifier. Among the advantages of the method over tamponade with Vaseline-covered gauze are: (a) better tamponade; (b) the possibility of testing the position and volume of tamponade; (c) the absence of trauma to the nasopharyngeal mucosa upon removal of the catheters after deflation of the balloons; (d) the availability of two airways for respiration in addition to the mouth; and (e) the absence of blood gas alterations and infections.

AbstractThis paper will review a new technique of detecting companion stars in LMXBs and X-ray transients in outburst using the Bowen fluorescence NIII lines at 4634-4640. These lines are very efficiently reprocessed in the atmospheres of the companion stars and, thereby, provide estimates of the K2 velocities and mass functions. The method has been applied to Sco X-1, X1822-371 and GX339-4 which, in the latter case, provides dynamical evidence for the presence of an accreting black hole. Preliminary results from a VLT campaign on V801 Ara, V926 Sco and XTE J1814-338 are also presented.
