A Multiwavelength View of the Neutron Star Binary 1FGL J1417.7-4402: A Progenitor to Canonical Millisecond Pulsars

The Fermi γ-ray source 1FGL J1417.7–4407 (J1417) is a compact X-ray binary with a neutron star primary and a red giant companion in a ~5.4 days orbit. This initial conclusion, based on optical and X-ray data, was confirmed when a 2.66 ms radio pulsar was found at the same location (and with the same...
