abstract
Among the compact objects observed in gravitational wave merger events a few have masses in the gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and least massive black holes (BHs) known. Their nature and the formation of their merging binaries are not well understood. We report on pulsar timing observations using the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) of PSR J0514-4002E, an eccentric binary millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster NGC 1851 with a total binary mass of $3.887 \pm 0.004$ solar masses. The companion to the pulsar is a compact object and its mass (between $2.09$ and $2.71$ solar masses, 95% confidence interval) is in the mass gap, so it either is a very massive NS or a low-mass BH. We propose the companion was formed by a merger between two earlier NSs.

CONDITIONAL 3representative citing papers
Parameterized inspiral tests on GW230529 find consistency with GR, with |δφ̂_{-2}| ≲ 8×10^{-5} and ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ in ESGB theories.
SKA-MID and SKA-LOW are predicted to discover 150–1700 new pulsars in Galactic globular clusters, more than doubling the current population of 345.
