Pulsars emit low-frequency radio waves through to high-energy gamma-rays that are generated anywhere from the surface out to the edges of the magnetosphere. Detecting correlated mode changes in the multi-wavelength emission is therefore key…

Eclipses of radio emission have been reported for ~ 58 spider millisecond pulsars (MSP), of which only around 19% have been extensively studied. Such studies at low frequencies are crucial for probing the properties of the eclipse medium,…

We present a comparative study of the low-frequency eclipses of spider (compact, irradiating binary) PSRs B1957+20 and J1816+4510. Combining these data with those of three other eclipsing systems we study the frequency dependence of the…

PSR J1744-3922 is a binary pulsar exhibiting highly variable pulsed radio emission. We report on a statistical multi-frequency study of the pulsed radio flux variability which suggests that this phenomenon is extrinsic to the pulsar and…

We searched for eclipses of two millisecond pulsars, PSR J1807-2459 and PSR B1908+00. These pulsars are in very low mass binary systems with orbital parameters similar to those of eclipsing binaries. Observations were made with the GBT at…

General relativity predicts that the spin axes of the pulsars in the double-pulsar system (PSR J0737-3039A/B) will precess rapidly, in general leading to a change in the observed pulse profiles. We have observed this system over a one-year…

Individual radio pulses from a pulsar are directly linked to the underlying emission processes and the associated magnetic field geometry within its magnetosphere. Thus, single-pulse studies across frequencies can provide crucial insights…
