The winds from a non-accreting pulsar and a massive star in a binary system collide forming a bow-shaped shock structure. The Coriolis force induced by orbital motion deflects the shocked flows, strongly affecting their dynamics. We study…

Pulsar timing arrays are ensembles of regularly observed millisecond pulsars timed to high precision. Each pulsar in an array could be affected by a suite of noise processes, most of which are astrophysically motivated. Analysing them…
A number of pulsars are known to have profile evolution on timescales of months, often correlated with spin-down rate changes. Here, we present the first result from 3 years of monitoring observations from MeerKAT as part of the Thousand…
