The Anomalous Acceleration of PSR J2043+1711: Long-period Orbital Companion or Stellar Flyby?

The Anomalous Acceleration of PSR J2043+1711: Long-period Orbital Companion or Stellar Flyby?

Based on the rate of change of its orbital period, PSR J2043+1711 has a substantial peculiar acceleration of 3.5 ± 0.8 mm s ^–1 yr ^–1 , which deviates from the acceleration predicted by equilibrium Milky Way (MW) models at a 4 σ level. The magnitude of the peculiar acceleration is too large to be e...
