Here we report on observations of the radio magnetar PSR J1622-4950 at frequencies from 1.4 to 17 GHz. We show that although its flux density is varying up to a factor of ~10 within a few days, it has on average decreased by a factor of 2…

We have observed PSR~B1534+12 (J1537+1155), a pulsar with a neutron star companion, using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). We found that this pulsar shows two distinct emission states: a weak state with a…

The beautiful sequences of ``drifting'' subpulses observed in some radio pulsars have been regarded as among the most salient and potentially instructive characteristics of their emission, not least because they have appeared to represent a…

Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) are neutron stars emitting sporadic radio pulses. The unique emission of RRATs has been proposed to resemble those of known pulsar types, such as extreme nulling pulsars or pulsars with giant pulses.…

We have analyzed the profile of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 at 1440 MHz by fitting the Gaussians to pulse components, and identified its 11 emission components. We propose that they form a emission beam with 5 nested cones…

The emission from PSR J1107-5907 is erratic. Sometimes the radio pulse is undetectable, at other times the pulsed emission is weak, and for short durations the emission can be very bright. In order to improve our understanding of these…

Radio pulsars exhibit an enormous diversity of single pulse behaviour that involves sudden changes in pulsation mode and nulling occurring on timescales of tens or hundreds of spin periods. The pulsations appear both chaotic and…
