We present timing solutions from the Fermi-LAT observations of gamma-ray pulsars PSR J0835$-$4510 (Vela), PSR J1023$-$5746, PSR J2111$+$4606, and PSR J2229$+$6114. Data ranges for each pulsar extend over a decade. From data analysis we have…
Almost all pulsars with anomalous positive $\ddot \Omega $ measurements (corresponding to anomalous braking indices in the range 5$<n<$100), including all the pulsars with observed large glitches ($\Delta\Omega/\Omega$ $>$ 10$^{-7}$) as…
Large pulsar glitches (like the ones detected in the Vela) are though to be a consequence of the superfluid component present in the interior of mature neutron stars. However strong entrainment challenges this picture. We study the impact…
Detailed structures of the Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45, with a period of $89.33$ milliseconds) are predicted by adopting a recently-constructed unified treatment of all parts of neutron stars: the outer crust, the inner crust and the core…
Pulsars are famed for their rotational clock-like stability and their highly-repeatable pulse shapes. However, it has long been known that there are unexplained deviations (often termed "timing noise") from the rate at which we predict…
Timing observations of rapidly rotating neutron stars revealed a great number of glitches, observed both from canonical radio pulsars and magnetars. Among them, 76 glitches have shown exponential relaxation(s) with characteristic decay…
Glitches detected in pulsar timing observations at the Nanshan radio telescope of Urumqi Observatory between 2002 July and 2008 December are presented. In total, 29 glitches were detected in 19 young pulsars, with this being the first…
We report new radio timing solutions from a three-year observing campaign conducted with the MeerKAT and Murriyang telescopes for nine Small Magellanic Cloud pulsars, increasing the number of characterised rotation-powered extragalactic…
Pulsar glitches, sudden jumps in frequency in otherwise steadily spinning down radio pulsars, offer a unique glimpse into the superfluid interior of neutron stars. The exact trigger of these events remains, however, elusive and this has…
We report on a timing programme of 74 young pulsars that have been observed by the Parkes 64-m radio telescope over the past decade. Using modern Bayesian timing techniques, we have measured the properties of 124 glitches in 52 of these…
Data are gathered from the Parkes pulsar data archive of twelve young radio pulsars, with the intervals of data for each pulsar ranged between 2.8 years and 6.8 years. 31 glitches are identified by using phase connection from "pulsar…
Glitches are sudden spin-up events that punctuate the steady spin down of pulsars and are thought to be due to the presence of a superfluid component within neutron stars. The precise glitch mechanism and its trigger, however, remain…
Glitches are sudden spin-up events of pulsars and are usually thought to be induced by unpinning of neutron superfluid vortices in pulsar crusts. Unpinning and repinning of superfluid vortices, and even thermoelectric effects induced by the…
We report the detection of a sudden spin-up of the 11 s anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-4000910 in regular timing observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The event, which occurred between MJD 51446 (1999 September 25)…
We present evidence for three spin-down glitches (or `anti-glitches') in the ultraluminous accreting X-ray pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 in timing observations made with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). Our timing analysis…
From 2000 to 2010, monitoring of radio emission from the Crab pulsar at Xinjiang Observatory detected a total of nine glitches. The occurrence of glitches appears to be a random process as described by previous researches. A persistent…
Braking index measurements offer the opportunity to explore the processes affecting the long-term spin evolution of pulsars and possible evolutionary connections between the various pulsar populations. For young pulsars the long-term trends…
We report on the discovery of consecutive bright radio pulses from the Vela pulsar, a new phenomenon that may lead to a greater understanding of the pulsar emission mechanism. This results from a total of 345 hr worth of observations of the…
Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating neutron stars with a very stable rotation speed. Irrespective of their stable rotation rate, many pulsars have been observed with the sudden jump in the rotation rate, which is known as pulsar glitch.…
Pulsars are rapidly spinning and highly magnetized neutron stars, with highly stable rotational period and gradual spin-down over a long timescale due to the loss of radiation. Glitches refer to the events that suddenly increase the…
