We have investigated the eclipse of the 23-ms pulsar J0737-3039A by its 2.8-s companion PSR J0737-3039B in the recently discovered double pulsar system using data taken with the Green Bank Telescope at 820 MHz. We find that the pulsed flux…

We show the results of our analysis of the pulse broadening phenomenon in 25 pulsars at several frequencies using the data gathered with GMRT and Effelsberg radiotelescopes. Twenty two of these pulsars were not studied in that regard before…

The electromagnetic signature of a point explosion near a Kerr black hole (BH) is evaluated. The first repetitions produced by gravitational lensing are not periodic in time; periodicity emerges only as the result of multiple circuits of…
