The low frequency (110--180 MHz) capabilities of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) are used to characterise a large collection of single pulses from three low magnetic field pulsars. Using the Pulsar Machine II (PuMa-II) to…
Since their discovery more than 50 years ago, broadband radio studies of pulsars have generated a wealth of information about the underlying physics of radio emission. In order to gain some further insights into this elusive emission…
We present the results of the multi-frequency scatter time measurements for ten radio pulsars that were relatively less studied in this regard. The observations were performed using the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope at the observing…
We report on timing and single-pulse observations of 17 pulsars discovered at the Arecibo observatory. The highlights of our sample are the recycled pulsars J1829+2456, J1944+0907 and the drifting subpulses observed in PSR J0815+0939. For…
Using the state-of-the-art SKA precursor, the MeerKAT radio telescope, we explore the limits to precision pulsar timing of millisecond pulsars achievable due to pulse stochasticity (jitter). We report new jitter measurements in 15 of the 29…
We present evidence for a small glitch in the spin evolution of the millisecond pulsar J0613$-$0200, using the EPTA Data Release 1.0, combined with Jodrell Bank analogue filterbank TOAs recorded with the Lovell telescope and Effelsberg…
We present baseband radio observations of the millisecond pulsar J1909$-$3744, the most precisely timed pulsar, using the MeerKAT telescope as part of the MeerTime pulsar timing array campaign. During a particularly bright scintillation…
The abrupt change in the pulse period of a pulsar is called a pulsar glitch. In this paper, we present eleven pulsar glitches detected using the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) and the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) in high…
The longitude separation between adjacent drifting subpulses, $P_2$, is roughly constant for many pulsars. It was then perplexing when pulsar B0809+74 was found to exhibit substantial variations in this measure, both with wavelength and…
Using data from the Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) observatory, we identified a permanent spin frequency decrease of $\Delta\nu=-(1.04\pm0.07)\times 10^{-7}\,\mathrm{Hz}$ around MJD 60132 in the rotation-powered pulsar…
The major programme for observing young, non-recycled pulsars with the Parkes telescope has transitioned from a narrow-band system to an ultra-wideband system capable of observing between 704 and 4032 MHz. We report here on the initial two…
The relativistic double neutron star binary PSR J0737-3039 shows clear evidence of orbital phase-dependent wind-companion interaction, both in radio and X-rays. In this paper we present the results of timing analysis of PSR J0737-3039…
Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) represent a relatively new class of pulsar, primarily characterised by their sporadic bursting emission of single pulses on time scales of minutes to hours. In addition to the difficulty involved in…
We present an investigation of the morphology and arrival times of integrated radio pulses from the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1022+1001. This pulsar is renowned for its poor timing properties, which have been postulated to originate…
Recent results regarding subpulse-drift in pulsar B0943+10 have led to the identification of a stable system of sub-beams circulating around the magnetic axis of the star. Here, we present single-pulse analysis of pulsar B0834+06 at 35 MHz,…
A successful attempt was made to analyse about 6000 single pulses of PSR B1133+16 obtained with the 100-meter Effelsberg radio-telescope. The high resolution (60 micro-seconds) data were taken at a frequency of 8.35 GHz with a bandwidth of…
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the absence of pulses in pulsar, a phenomena also know as pulsar nulling. The motivation for the work done in thesis is listed in Chapter 2. A detailed discussion on the previous work carried out to…
Using five year monitoring observations, we did a blind search for pulses for rotating radio transient (RRAT) J0139+33 and PSR B0320+39. At the interval \pm 1.5m of the time corresponding to the source passing through the meridian, we…
We present the results of a high-time resolution polarization study of single pulses from pulsars B0950+08 and B1642-03. Single pulses from pulsar B0950+08 sometimes show isolated micropulses without any significant associated subpulse…
Aims: The binary pulsar PSR J1811-1736 has been identified, since its discovery, as a member of a double neutron star system. Observations of such binary pulsars allow the measurement of general relativistic effects, which in turn lead to…
