Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are recycled neutron stars (NSs) that are typically found in binary systems (Bhattacharya & van den Heuvel 1991). The timing of periodic radio pulses emitted from MSPs allows for precise measurements of the properties of the pulsars themselves and provides an opportunity for stringent tests of fundamental physics including searching for gravitational waves (Foster, Backer & Wolszczan 1990), testing theories of gravity (Kramer et al.
A nova is a thermonuclear explosion that ignites at the bottom of a layer of accreted material on a white dwarf (WD) in a binary system (Gallagher & Starrfield 1978; Bode & Evans 2008; Chomiuk, Metzger & Shen 2021a). The companion star is usually a main-sequence star, but is occasionally a more evolved sub-giant or giant star. The companion transfers H-rich gas onto the WD, accumulating an envelope of accreted material on its surface.
