This study presents an orbital phase-dependent analysis of three black widow spider millisecond pulsars (BW MSPs), aiming to investigate the magnetic field within the eclipse environment. The ultra-wide-bandwidth low-frequency receiver…

The mode switching phenomenon of PSR J0614+2229 was studied by using the archived observations at 686, 1369 and 3100 MHz with the Parkes radio telescope which have not been published before, and combining existing observations from the…

We have detected sporadic, bright, short-duration radio pulses from PSR J0901$-$4624. These pulses are emitted simultaneously with persistent, periodic emission that dominates the flux density when averaging over many periods of the pulsar.…

We present a multi-frequency study of eclipse properties of a transitional redback millisecond pulsar J1227$-$4853 discovered in 2014 with the GMRT. Emission from this pulsar is eclipsed at 607 MHz for about 37% of its orbit around the…

The eclipses of certain types of binary millisecond pulsars (i.e. `black widows' and `redbacks') are often studied using high-time-resolution, `beamformed' radio observations. However, they may also be detected in images generated from…

Analysis of 20 months of observations at the Parkes radio telescope shows secular changes in the pulsed emission from J0737-3039B, the 2.77 s pulsar of the double-pulsar system. Pulse profiles are becoming single-peaked in both bright…

The recently constructed theory of radio wave propagation in the pulsar magnetosphere outlines the general aspects of the radio light curve and polarization formation. It allows us to describe general properties of mean profiles, such as…

The double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B is a highly relativistic double neutron star (DNS) binary, with a 2.4-hour orbital period. The low mass of the second-formed NS, as well the low system eccentricity and proper motion, point to a…

Over the past decade it has become apparent that a class of `bursting pulsars' exist with the discovery of PSR J1752+2359 and PSR J1938+2213. In these pulsars, a sharp increase in the emission is observed that then tends to systematically…
