Many radio pulsars have stable pulse profiles, but some exhibit mode changing where the profile switches between two or more quasi-stable modes of emission. So far, these effects had only been seen in relatively slow pulsars, but we show…

We suggest the possibility of including millisecond pulsars inside the core of globular clusters in pulsar timing array experiments. Since they are very close to each other, their gravitational wave induced timing residuals are expected to…

LOFAR offers the unique capability of observing pulsars across the 10-240 MHz frequency range with a fractional bandwidth of roughly 50%. This spectral range is well-suited for studying the frequency evolution of pulse profile morphology…

We have surveyed all 22 known Galactic globular clusters observable with the Arecibo radio telescope and within 70kpc of the Sun for radio pulsations at ~1.4GHz. Data were taken with the Wideband Arecibo Pulsar Processor, which provided the…

A striking aspect of the radio profiles of many millisecond pulsars (MSPs) is that they consist of components separated from each other by regions lacking in emission. We devise a technique for determining "disjoint" from "contiguous"…

We have determined positions, proper motions, and parallaxes of $77$ millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from $\sim3$ years of MeerKAT radio telescope observations. Our timing and noise analyses enable us to measure $35$ significant parallaxes ($12$…

Using MeerKAT, we have discovered three new millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the bulge globular cluster M62: M62H, M62I, and M62J. All three are in binary systems, which means all ten known pulsars in the cluster are in binaries. M62H has a…

Observations show that globular clusters might be among the best places to find millisecond pulsars. However, the globular cluster Terzan 6 seems to be an exception without any pulsar discovered, although its high stellar encounter rate…
