Pulsars, generally accepted to be rotating neutron stars, are dense, neutron-packed
remnants of massive stars that blew apart in supernova explosions. They are typically about …

Timing observations from the Parkes 64-m radio telescope for 165 pulsars between 1990
and 2011 have been searched for period glitches. Data spans for each pulsar ranged …

Timing observations of 40 mostly young pulsars using the ATNF Parkes radio telescope
between 1990 January and 1998 December are reported. In total, 20 previously unreported …

We report the detection of a sudden spin-up of the 11 s anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS
J170849. 0-400910 in regular timing observations made with the Rossi X-Ray Timing …

The 'characteristic age'of a pulsar is usually considered to approximate its true age, but this
assumption has led to some puzzling results, including the fact that many pulsars with small …

In 1957, Abrikosov described how quanta of magnetic flux enter the interior of a bulk type II
superconductor. It was subsequently predicted that, in an isotropic superconductor, the …

We report the discovery and follow-up timing observations of the 63 ms radio pulsar, PSR
J1105-6107. The pulsar is young, having a characteristic age of only 63 kyr and, from its …

A detailed observation of the microglitch phenomenon in relatively slow radio pulsars is
presented. Our analyses for these small amplitude jumps in pulse rotation frequency (ν) …

A total of 71 glitches (Δ ν/ν≥ 10− 9) have been reported to date in 30 pulsars. 13 of these
glitches come from the Vela pulsar, whose glitches are mostly of magnitude Δ ν/ν∼ 10− 6 …

Glitches are common phenomena in pulsars. After each glitch, there is often a permanent
increase in the pulsar's spin-down rate. Therefore, a pulsar's present spin-down rate may be …
