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…

We present a timing and glitch analysis of the young X-ray pulsar PSR J0537$-$6910, located within the Large Magellanic Cloud, using 13 years of data from the now decommissioned Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Rotating with a spin period of 16…

Context: The rotation history of the Crab Pulsar is well described by (1) a rotation frequency $\nu$ and a slowdown model that is specified by its first two time derivatives $\dot \nu$ and $\ddot \nu$, known as the secular slowdown model,…

Glitches are sudden changes in rotation frequency and spin-down rate, observed from pulsars of all ages. Standard glitches are characterized by a positive step in angular velocity ($\Delta\Omega$ $ > $ $0$) and a negative step in the…

$\sim 6\%$ of all known pulsars have been observed to exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as glitches. For more than fifty years, these phenomena have played an important role in helping to understand pulsar (astro)physics. Based on the…

The 30-Hz rotation rate of the Crab pulsar has been monitored at Jodrell Bank Observatory since 1984 and by other observatories before then. Since 1968, the rotation rate has decreased by about $0.5$\,Hz, interrupted only by sporadic and…

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…

Although pulsars are one of the most stable clocks in the universe, many of them are observed to 'glitch', i.e. to suddenly increase their spin frequency (\nu) with fractional increases that range from \Delta\nu/\nu \approx 10^{-11} to…

In this paper, we presented the 23.3 years of pulsar timing results of PSR J1456-6413 based on the observation of Parkes 64m radio telescope. We detected two new glitches at MJD 57093(3) and 59060(12) and confirmed its first glitch at MJD…

Pulsar glitches are attributed to the sudden re-coupling of very weakly coupled large scale superfluid components in the neutron star interior. This process leads to rapid exchange of angular momentum and an increase in spin frequency. The…

Hard xray data from the RXTE observatory (HEXTE energy range 15 to 240 keV) have been analyzed to obtain a phase coherent timing solution for the Crab pulsar glitch of 15 July 2000. The results are: (1) step change in the rotation frequency…

PSR J0537-6910, also known as the Big Glitcher, is the most prolific glitching pulsar known, and its spin-induced pulsations are only detectable in X-ray. We present results from analysis of 2.7 years of NICER timing observations, from 2017…

We demonstrate that the high-magnetic field pulsar J1119-6127 exhibits three different types of behaviour in the radio band. Trailing the "normal" profile peak there is an "intermittent" peak and these components are flanked by two…

Many radio pulsars exhibit glitches wherein the star's spin rate increases fractionally by $\sim 10^{-10} - 10^{-6}$. Glitches are ascribed to variable coupling between the neutron star crust and its superfluid interior. With the aim of…

We test statistically the hypothesis that radio pulsar glitches result from an avalanche process, in which angular momentum is transferred erratically from the flywheel-like superfluid in the star to the slowly decelerating, solid crust via…
