Here, we report on timing observations of the recently discovered binary PSR J1755−2550 and find that this pulsar is an exception: with a characteristic age of 2.1 Myr, it is relatively young; furthermore, with a spin period of 315 ms and a surface magnetic field strength at its poles of 0.88 × 1012 G, the pulsar shows no sign of having been recycled. Based on its timing and orbital characteristics, the pulsar either has a massive white dwarf (WD) or a neutron star (NS) companion. To distinguish between these two cases, we searched radio observations for a potential recycled pulsar companion and analysed archival optical data for a potential WD companion. Neither work returned conclusive detections. We apply population synthesis modelling and find that both solutions are roughly equally probable. Our population synthesis also predicts a minimum mass of 0.90 M⊙ for the companion star to PSR J1755−2550 and we simulate the systemic runaway velocities for the resulting WDNS systems which may merge and possibly produce Ca-rich supernovae. Whether PSR J1755−2550 hosts a WD or a NS companion star, it is certainly a member of a rare subpopulation of binary radio pulsars."}],"status":"public","date_updated":"2024-04-08T07:02:52Z","intvolume":" 476","quality_controlled":"1","day":"23","issue":"4","month":"02","title":"PSR J1755−2550: A young radio pulsar with a massive, compact companion","doi":"10.1093/mnras/sty482","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1365-2966"],"issn":["0035-8711"]},"_id":"15236","citation":{"apa":"Ng, C., Kruckow, M.
