We present high-sensitivity, wide-band observations (704 to 4032 MHz) of the young to middle-aged radio pulsar J1452-6036, taken at multiple epochs before and, serendipitously, shortly after a glitch occurred on 2019 April 27. We obtained…

PSR J0742-2822 exhibits two distinct emission states that are identified by discrete changes in the observed pulse profile. These changes have previously been shown to correlate with changes in the derivative of the pulse frequency. In this…

The close correlation observed between emission state and spin-down rate change of pulsars has many implications both for the magnetospheric physics and the neutron star interior. The middle-aged pulsar PSR J0738$-$4042, which had been…

PSR J1806-2125 is a pulsar discovered in the Parkes multibeam pulsar survey with a rotational period of 0.4s and a characteristic age of 65kyr. Between MJDs 51462 and 51894 this pulsar underwent an increase in rotational frequency of…

Pulsars are the most numerous class of Galactic gamma-ray sources detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Young pulsars occasionally experience sudden timing discontinuities called glitches, characterized by rapid changes in…

Pulsar glitches, sudden jumps in frequency in otherwise steadily spinning down radio pulsars, offer a unique glimpse into the superfluid interior of neutron stars. The exact trigger of these events remains, however, elusive and this has…

Context. A small number of pulsar glitches have been identified as anti-glitches or spin-down glitches, where the overall contribution to the pulsar's rotation frequency is negative. A notable example of a spin-down glitch was observed in…

The spin-down law of pulsars is generally perturbed by two types of timing irregularities: glitches and timing noise. Glitches are sudden changes in the rotational frequency of pulsars, while timing noise is a discernible stochastic…

Among the five pulsars with the most recorded rotational glitches, only PSR J0534$+$2200 is found to have an autocorrelation between consecutive glitch sizes which differs significantly from zero (Spearman correlation coefficient…

The young, fast-spinning, X-ray pulsar J0537-6910 displays an extreme glitch activity, with large spin-ups interrupting its decelerating rotation every ~100 days. We present nearly 13 years of timing data from this pulsar, obtained with the…

A microphysics-agnostic meta-model of rotational glitches in rotation-powered pulsars is developed, wherein the globally averaged internal stress accumulates as a Brownian process between glitches, and a glitch is triggered once a critical…

It is an open question whether glitch activity in individual pulsars varies on decadal time-scales. The Crab pulsar has experienced 23 spin-up glitches in the last 36 years, interrupting an otherwise monotonic deceleration. A homogeneous…
