Observational manifestations of young neutron stars: Spin-powered pulsars
Michael Kramer
The largest number of known young neutron stars are observed as spin-powered pulsars. While the majority of those are detected at radio frequencies, an increasing number can be stu…
Giant pulses in Millisecond Pulsars
B. C. Joshi, M. Kramer, A. G. Lyne +2
Giant pulses (GPs), occasional individual pulses with an intensity 100 times the average intensity, have been detected in four pulsars todate. Their origin is not well understood,…
Long-Term Timing of 374 Pulsars
G. Hobbs, A. Lyne, M. Kramer
We have analysed the arrival times for 374 pulsars that have been observed for more than six years using the 76-m Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory. Here we present a qu…
Unusual profile variations in pulsar PSR J1022+1001 -- Evidence for magnetospheric "return currents"?
R. Ramachandran, M. Kramer
We report a detailed multi-frequency study of significant instabilities observed in the average pulse profile of the 16-millisecond pulsar PSR J1022+1001. These unusual profile var…
Proper motion, age and initial spin period of PSR J0538+2817 in S147
M. Kramer, A. G. Lyne, G. Hobbs +4
We present results of timing observations of the 143-ms pulsar J0538+2817 that provide a proper motion measurement which clearly associates the pulsar with the supernova remnant S1…
Pulsars with the SKA
Michael Kramer
As for other areas in modern astronomy, the SKA will revolutionize the field of pulsar astrophysics. Not only will new science be possible by the shear number of pulsars discovered…
PSR J1847-0130: A Radio Pulsar with Magnetar Spin Characteristics
M. A. McLaughlin, I. H. Stairs, V. M. Kaspi +9
We report the discovery of PSR J1847-0130, a radio pulsar with a 6.7-s spin period, in the Parkes multibeam survey of the Galactic plane. The slowdown rate for the pulsar, 1.3x10^{…
The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey: III. Young pulsars & the discovery and timing of 200 pulsars
M. Kramer, J. F. Bell, R. N. Manchester +13
The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey has unlocked vast areas of the Galactic plane which were previously invisible to earlier low-frequency and less-sensitive surveys. The survey has…
Yet MORE PM Survey Discoveries....?
A. J. Faulkner, M. Kramer, G. Hobbs +9
The Parkes Multibeam (PM) survey has found nearly 50% of the >1400 known pulsars and detected 20% of the pulsars in binary systems (75% within the survey area), few of these are mi…
Polarisation Observations at Jodrell Bank Observatory
D. Athanasiadis, M. Kramer, I. H. Stairs +1
Some of the issues concerning polarisation calibration in the context of pulsar observations are outlined along with the existing calibration system in Jodrell Bank Observatory. Th…
Geodetic Precession in PSR B1913+16
M. Kramer, O. Loehmer, A. Karastergiou
We review the observational evidence for geodetic precession in PSR B1913+16 and present the latest observations and results from modelling the system geometry and beam.
