Pulsar glitches: observations and physical interpretation

D Antonopoulou, B Haskell… - Reports on Progress in …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The interpretation of pulsar rotational glitches, the sudden increase in spin frequency of
neutron stars, is a half-century-old challenge. The common view is that glitches are driven by …

The UTMOST pulsar timing programme–II. Timing noise across the pulsar population

ME Lower, M Bailes, RM Shannon… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
While pulsars possess exceptional rotational stability, large-scale timing studies have
revealed at least two distinct types of irregularities in their rotation: red timing noise and …

A second chromatic timing event of interstellar origin toward PSR J1713+ 0747

MT Lam, JA Ellis, G Grillo, ML Jones… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The frequency dependence of radio pulse arrival times provides a probe of structures in the
intervening media. Demorest et al. was the first to show a short-term (∼ 100–200 days) …

Vortex pinning in neutron stars, slipstick dynamics, and the origin of spin glitches

B Link, Y Levin - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study pinning and unpinning of superfluid vortices in the inner crust of a neutron star
using three-dimensional dynamical simulations. Strong pinning occurs for certain lattice …

First results of the glitching pulsar monitoring programme at the Argentine Institute of Radioastronomy

E Zubieta, R Missel, V Sosa Fiscella… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We report here on the first results of a systematic monitoring of southern glitching pulsars at
the Argentine Institute of Radioastronomy that started in the year 2019. We detected a major …

Size-waiting-time correlations in pulsar glitches

A Melatos, G Howitt, W Fulgenzi - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Few statistically compelling correlations are found in pulsar timing data between the size of
a rotational glitch and the time to the preceding glitch (backward waiting time) or the …

Giant Hall Waves Launched by Superconducting Phase Transition in Pulsars

A Bransgrove, Y Levin… - The Astrophysical …, 2025 - iopscience.iop.org
The cores of pulsars are expected to become superconducting soon after birth. The
transition to type-II superconductivity is associated with the bunching of magnetic field lines …

Small glitches and other rotational irregularities of the Vela pulsar

CM Espinoza, D Antonopoulou, R Dodson… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Glitches are sudden increases in the rotation rate ν of neutron stars, which are
thought to be driven by the neutron superfluid inside the star. The Vela pulsar presents a …

Pulsar glitch detection with a hidden Markov model

A Melatos, LM Dunn, S Suvorova… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Pulsar timing experiments typically generate a phase-connected timing solution from a
sequence of times of arrival (TOAs) by absolute pulse numbering, ie, by fitting an integer …

Pulse Profile Variations Associated with the Glitch of PSR B2021+ 51

J Liu, HG Wang, Z Yan, ZQ Shen, H Tong… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We reported the first glitch of PSR B2021+ 51 detected with the Shanghai Tian Ma Radio
Telescope that occurred around MJD 58289.1 (2018 June 20). The spin frequency and its …
