Abstract

Pulse arrival time measurements over fourteen years with the Nanshan 25-m and Parkes 64-m radio telescopes have been used to determine the average profile and timing properties for PSR J1757-2421 (B1754-24). Analysis of the radio profile data shows a large variation of spectral index across the profile and an unusual increase in component separation with increasing frequency. The timing observations show that PSR B1754-24 underwent a large glitch with a fractional increase in spin frequency of Δνg/ν7.8×106\Delta\nu_{\rm g}/\nu\sim 7.8\times10^{-6} in May 2011. At the time of the glitch there was a large permanent jump in the rotational frequency accompanied by two exponential recovery terms with timescales of 15(6) and 97(15) days, respectively.
