PSR J2145-0750

(PSR J2145-07, PSR J2146-07, PSR B2145-07.8)
(binary system consisting of a pulsar and white dwarf)

PSR J2145-0750 is millisecond pulsar that is part of a binary system with a white dwarf. It is a member of NANOGrav's PTA. It also stimulated interest to see if it has a significant orbital decay that would be evidence of gravitational waves, but that hasn't been evident. Presumably its rotation was increased by accretion at a time when its companion was a giant star, and it serves as an example for study of such systems.
