At 327 MHz, the observed emission of PSR B1937+21 is greatly affected by scattering in the interstellar medium, on a timescale of order the pulse period. We use the bright impulsive giant pulses emitted by the pulsar to measure the impulse…

We analyze pulsar fluxes at 1400 MHz ($S_{1400}$) and distances ($d$) extracted from the Parkes Multibeam Survey. Under the assumption that distribution of pulsar luminosities is distance-independent, we find that either (a) pulsar fluxes…

We study the effect of pulsar rotation on timing of binary pulsars, with particular emphasis on the double pulsar system J0737-3039. Special relativistic aberration due to the orbital motion of pulsar changes both the longitude and…

Most millisecond pulsars, like essentially all other radio pulsars, show timing errors well in excess of what is expected from additive radiometer noise alone. We show that changes in amplitude, shape and pulse phase for the millisecond…

We analyze and model rapid rotations of polarization orientations in PSR B1919+21's single pulses based on Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope observation data. In more than one-third of B1919+21's single pulses, the…
