A millisecond pulsar having an ellipticity, that is an asymmetric mass distribution around its spin-axis, could emit continuous gravitational waves, which have not been detected so far. An indirect way to infer such waves is to estimate the…
Context. Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) typically display periodic and regular peaks in the light curves during the flare emissions. Sometimes, QPPs show multiple periods at the same wavelength. However, changing periods in various…
Pulsars are spinning neutron stars with very regular periods. These pulsars have, however, had instances where they exhibit a change in their periods. Older theories have shown that older pulsars have a tendency to skip and speed up. Newer…
We have carried out a detailed study of individual pulse emission from the pulsar J1741$-$0840 (B1738$-$08), observed using the Parkes and Effelsberg radio telescopes at the $L$ band. The pulsar exhibits four emission components which are…
In recent years periodic amplitude modulation has emerged as a unique emission feature in the single pulse sequence of pulsars alongside periodic nulling and subpulse drifting. Despite ample evidence for the uniqueness of this phenomenon,…
Theory was formulated for scattering by a coated chiral sphere of a plane wave of arbitrary polarization state with amplitude modulated by a Gaussian pulse. The spherical core and the concentric shell of the sphere were composed of two…
This paper compares and contrasts the emission of two high nulling fraction pulsars, PSRs J1738-2330 and J1752+2359. In both pulsars the emission bursts appear in a quasi-periodic fashion with typical separations of several hundred pulses,…
Gravitational redshifts of neutron stars have a theoretical upper limit of z=0.62. Also, it is generally believed that neutron stars have magnetic fields on the order of ten to the twelfth to ten to the thirteenth G. A previously predicted…
In this study, we report on a detailed single pulse polarimetric analysis of the radio emission from the pulsar J2321+6024 (B2319+60) observed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, over wide frequencies ranging between 300 to 500 MHz…
We report on the variation in the single-pulse emission from PSR J1900+4221 (CRAFTS 19C10) observed at frequency centered at 1.25 GHz using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. The integrated pulse profile shows two…
We have found that there are two distinct emission modes in PSR B0809+74. Beside its normal and most common mode, the pulsar emits in a significantly different quasi-stable mode after most or possibly all nulls, occasionally for over 100…
We investigate properties of Galactic microlensing events in which a stellar object is lensed by a neutron star. For an all-sky photometric microlensing survey, we determine the number of lensing events caused by $\sim10^{5}$…
The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect provides a paradigmatic example of a topological phase of matter. FQH edges are theoretically described via models belonging to the class of chiral Luttinger liquid (CLL) theories [1 (Wen, 2007)].…
Shear-driven turbulence in the superfluid interior of a neutron star exerts a fluctuating torque on the rigid crust, causing the rotational phase to walk randomly. The phase fluctuation spectrum is calculated analytically for incompressible…
The non-relativistic Pauli equation is used to study the interaction of slow neutrons with a short magnetic pulse. In the extreme limit, the pulse is acting on the magnetic moment of the neutron only at one instant of time. We obtain the…
We present a single pulse study of pulsar B1944+17, whose non-random nulls dominate nearly 70% of its pulses and usually occur at mode boundaries. When not in the null state, this pulsar displays four bright modes of emission, three of…
