Now that detection of gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of extra-galactic
compact binary star mergers has become nearly routine, it is intriguing to consider other …

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 Advanced LIGO [1] and Advanced Virgo [2] detectors have made numerous detections
of gravitational waves (GWs), to date consisting of short-duration (transient) GWs emitted …

Over the last 40 years, an astonishing range of astrophysics has become accessible through
pulsar astronomy. The body of literature on this rapidly growing research area is vast and …

We report on a timing programme of 74 young pulsars that have been observed by the
Parkes 64-m radio telescope over the past decade. Using modern Bayesian timing …

Pulsar glitches are rapid spin-up events that occur in the rotation of neutron stars, providing
a valuable probe into the physics of the interiors of these objects. Long-term monitoring of a …

The birth of gravitational wave astronomy was triggered by the first detection of a signal
produced by the merger of two compact objects (also known as a compact binary …

PSR J0537–6910 is a young (1–5 kyr) energetic X-ray pulsar, rotating at a spin frequency ν=
62 Hz (Marshall et al. 1998), in the Large Magellanic Cloud at a distance of 49.6 kpc …

∼ 6% of all known pulsars have been observed to exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as
glitches. For more than fifty years, these phenomena have played an important role in …

We present a statistical study of the glitch population and the behaviour of the glitch activity
across the known population of neutron stars. An unbiased glitch database was put together …
