For a selection of 35 pulsars with large spin-up glitches ($\Delta{\nu}/\nu\geq10^{-6}$), which are monitored by the Jodrell Bank Observatory, we analyse 157 glitches and their recoveries. All parameters are measured consistently and we…

We report a glitch-like pulse frequency deviation from the simple spin-down law in an anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61 detected by ASCA observations. We also found a significant pulse profile change after the putative glitch. The…

We consider the physical implications of the rapid spindown of Soft Gamma Repeater 1900+14, and of the apparent "braking glitch", \Delta P/P = l x 10^-4, that was concurrent with the Aug. 27th giant flare. A radiation-hydrodynamical outflow…

Disordered magnets, martensitic mixed crystals, and glassy solids can be irreversibly deformed by subjecting them to external deformation. The deformation produces a smooth, reversible response punctuated by abrupt relaxation "glitches".…

Pulsar glitches are rapid spin-up events that occur in the rotation of neutron stars, providing a valuable probe into the physics of the interiors of these objects. Long-term monitoring of a large number of pulsars facilitates the detection…

Ground-based gravitational wave detectors are now routinely surveying the dark Universe, finding hundreds of collisions between compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars. However, terrestrial non-Gaussian noise artefacts,…

Magnetars are neutron stars with extremely high magnetic fields that exhibit various X-ray phenomena such as sporadic sub-second bursts, long-term persistent flux enhancements, and variable rates of rotation period change. In 2020, a fast…

Radio pulsar glitches probe far-from-equilibrium processes involving stress accumulation and relaxation in neutron star interiors. Previous studies of glitch rates have focused on individual pulsars with as many recorded glitches as…

A detailed observation of microglitch phenomenon in relatively slow radio pulsars is presented. Our analyses for these small amplitude jumps in pulse rotation frequency ($\nu$) and/or spin down rate ($\dot{\nu}$) combine the traditional…

Through a detailed timing analysis of $\textit{Fermi}$-LAT data, the rotational behavior of the $\gamma$-ray pulsar PSR J1522$-$5735 was tracked from August 2008 (MJD 54692) to January 2024 (MJD 60320). During this 15.4-year period, two…
