We report the detection of a sudden spin-up of the 11 s anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-4000910 in regular timing observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The event, which occurred between MJD 51446 (1999 September 25)…
We have analyzed 5.5 years of timing observations of 7 ``slowly'' rotating radio pulsars, made with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. We present improved timing solutions and 30, mostly small new glitches. The most interesting…
We present updated analyses of pulse profiles and their arrival-times from PSR B1534+12, a 37.9-ms radio pulsar in orbit with another neutron star. A high-precision timing model is derived from twenty-two years of timing data, and accounts…
This paper studies the properties of the Multiply Iterated Poisson Process (MIPP), a stochastic process constructed by repeatedly time-changing a Poisson process, and its applications in ruin theory. Like standard Poisson processes, MIPPs…
Braking index measurements offer the opportunity to explore the processes affecting the long-term spin evolution of pulsars and possible evolutionary connections between the various pulsar populations. For young pulsars the long-term trends…
The scale-invariant glitch statistics observed in individual pulsars (exponential waiting-time and power-law size distributions) are consistent with a critical self-organization process, wherein superfluid vortices pin metastably in…
The observed recurrence of glitches in pulsars and neutron stars carry rich information about the evolution of their internal structures. In this article I show that the glitch-events observed in pulsars are exact quantum signatures for…
Pulsar glitches-the sudden spin-up in the rotational frequency of a neutron star-suggest the existence of an angular-momentum reservoir confined to the inner crust of the neutron star. Large and regular glitches observed in the Vela pulsar…
We present results from timing observations of 27 pulsars made at the Pushchino Observatory over 33.5 yr between 1978 July and 2012 February. We also analyze archival Jet Propulsion Laboratory data of 10 pulsars to extend individual data…
Continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars could provide an invaluable resource to learn about their interior physics. A common search method involves matched filtering a modeled template against the noisy gravitational-wave data to…
We analyse the stochastic properties of the 49 pulsars that comprise the first International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) data release. We use Bayesian methodology, performing model selection to determine the optimal description of the…
We present a new phase-coherent timing analysis for the young, energetic pulsar PSR B0540-69 using 7.6 yr of data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. We measure the braking index, n=2.140+/-0.009, and discuss our measurement in the…
Several pulsars show sudden cessation of pulsed emission, which is known as pulsar nulling. In this paper, the nulling behaviour of 15 pulsars is presented. The nulling fractions of these pulsars, along with the degree of reduction in the…
Pulsar glitches are the sudden increase in their spin frequency, most accompanied with a long timescale recovery process. A permanent shift would be remained in the first order derivative of spin frequency with time. Relevant data fitting…
We investigate the high energy emission activities of two bright gamma-ray pulsars, PSR~J2021+4026 and Vela. For PSR~J2021+4026, the state changes in the gamma-ray flux and spin-down rate have been observed. We report that the long-term…
Pulsar glitches are sudden increase in their spin frequency, in most cases followed by the long timescale recovery process. As of this writing, about 546 glitches have been reported in 188 pulsars, the Crab pulsar is a special one with…
In this paper we report unusual glitches in two young pulsars, PSR J1825-0935 (B1822-09) and PSR J1835-1106. For PSR J1825-0935, a slow glitch characterised by a temporary decrease in the slowdown rate occurred between 2000 December 31 to…
We report here on the first results of a systematic monitoring of southern glitching pulsars at the Argentine Institute of Radioastronomy that started in the year 2019. We detected a major glitch in the Vela pulsar (PSR J0835$-$4510) and…
A framework is presented for a statistical theory of neutron star glitches, motivated by the results emerging from recent Gross-Pitaevskii simulations of pinned, decelerating quantum condensates. It is shown that the observed glitch size…
