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

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the third Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run

R Abbott, TD Abbott, F Acernese, K Ackley, C Adams… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
This paper presents the results of a search for generic short-duration gravitational-wave
transients in data from the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo …

Models of pulsar glitches

B Haskell, A Melatos - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2015 - World Scientific
Radio pulsars provide us with some of the most stable clocks in the universe. Nevertheless
several pulsars exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as glitches. More than forty years after …

The impact of glitches on young pulsar rotational evolution

ME Lower, S Johnston, L Dunn… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
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 …

The Jodrell bank glitch catalogue: 106 new rotational glitches in 70 pulsars

A Basu, B Shaw, D Antonopoulou… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Narrowband searches for continuous and long-duration transient gravitational waves from known pulsars in the LIGO-Virgo third observing run

Pulsar glitches: A review

S Zhou, E Gügercinoğlu, J Yuan, M Ge, C Yu - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
∼ 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 …

A high braking index for a pulsar

RF Archibald, EV Gotthelf, RD Ferdman… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a phase-coherent timing solution for PSR J1640–4631, a young 206 ms pulsar
using X-ray timing observations taken with NuSTAR. Over this timing campaign, we have …

An anti-glitch in a magnetar

RF Archibald, VM Kaspi, CY Ng, KN Gourgouliatos… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Magnetars are neutron stars with X-ray and soft γ-ray outbursts thought to be powered by
intense internal magnetic fields. Like conventional neutron stars in the form of radio pulsars …
