We have carried out a survey for `giant pulses' in 5 millisecond pulsars. We detect individual pulses from the high Edot pulsar PSR B1821-24 with energies exceeding 50x the mean pulse energy. These giant pulses are concentrated in a narrow…

The millisecond pulsar J1823-3021A is a very active giant pulse emitter in the globular cluster NGC 6624. New observations with the MeerKAT radio telescope have revealed 14350 giant pulses over 5 hours of integration time, with an average…

We have searched for microsecond bursts of emission from millisecond pulsars in the globular cluster M28 using the Parkes radio telescope. We detected a total of 27 giant pulses from the known emitter PSR J1824-2452A. At wavelengths around…

We have conducted a search for giant pulses from four millisecond pulsars using the 100m Green Bank Telescope. Coherently dedispersed time-series from PSR J0218+4232 were found to contain giant pulses of very short intrinsic duration whose…

We present the results of wide-band (720-2400 MHz) study of PSR B1821-24A (J1824-2452A, M28A), an energetic millisecond pulsar visible in radio, X-rays and gamma-rays. In radio, the pulsar has a complex average profile which spans >85% of…

We report the discovery of giant pulse (GP) emission from the transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) PSR J1227$-$4853, using 174 hours of single-pulse data from the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT). This marks the first…

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…

Giant pulses (GPs) have been detected from the pulsar PSR B0656+14. A pulse that is more intense than the average pulse by a factor of 120 is encountered approximately once in 3000 observed periods of the pulsar. The peak flux density of…

Giant pulses (GPs) occur in high magnetic-field millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and young Crab-like pulsars. Motivated by the fast radio bursts (FRBs) discovered in a globular cluster (GC) in the M81, we undertook baseband observations of PSR…

Giant radio pulses of the millisecond pulsar B1937+21 were recorded with the S2 VLBI system at 1.65 GHz with NASA/JPL's 70-m radio telescope at Tidbinbilla, Australia. These pulses have been observed as strong as 65000 Jy with widths <= 15…

Giant pulses are short, intense outbursts of radio emission with a power-law intensity distribution that have been observed from the Crab Pulsar and PSR B1937+21. We have undertaken a systematic study of giant pulses from PSR B1937+21 using…

We report the discovery of the first giant pulses from an extragalactic radio pulsar. Observations of PSR B0540-69 in the Large Magellanic Cloud made with the Parkes radio telescope at 1.38 GHz show single pulses with energy more than 5000…

We have carried out a survey for `giant pulses' in 6 young, Vela-like pulsars. In no cases did we find single pulses with flux densities more than 10 times the mean flux density. However, in PSR B1706-44 we have detected giant micro-pulses…

We report the first wideband monitoring observations of PSR J1803-3002A, a relatively bright millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster NGC 6522 with a spin period of 7.1 ms and no known binary companion. These observations were performed…

Review report of giant pulses of pulsar radio emission, based on our detections of four new pulsars with giant pulses, and the comparative analysis of the previously known pulsars with giant pulses, including the Crab pulsar and millisecond…

We discuss the giant-pulse phenomenon exhibited by pulsars and the distances to which giant pulses might be detected from extragalactic pulsars. We describe the conditions under which a single-pulse search is more sensitive than a standard…

We report the detection of Giant Pulses (GPs) in the pulsar PSR J1752+2359. The energy of the strongest GP exceeds the energy of the average pulse by a factor of 200, in which it stands out from all known pulsars with GPs. PSR J1752+2359 as…

We present the results of recent Arecibo and Green Bank observations of the globular cluster NGC 6760. Using Arecibo, a phase-coherent timing solution has been obtained for the previously known binary pulsar in this cluster, PSR…

Giant pulses and giant micropulses from pulsars are distinguished from normal pulsed emission by their large fluxes, rarity, approximately power-law distribution of fluxes and, typically, occurrence in restricted phase windows. Here…

Giant pulses are rare bright radio bursts that occur in restricted ranges of pulsar rotational phase. Here we report giant pulses from PSR B0355+54, a pulsar with spin period ~0.156 s. Using 7.97 hours of observations centred at 1.46 GHz,…
