Single-pulse Emissions of PSRs J1611-0114 and J1617+1123

In this paper,the emissions from two pulsars,PSRs J1611-0114 and J1617+1123,were investigated using th Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope operating at a central frequency of 1250 MHz.Th average pulse profile of PSR J1611-0114 shows two components,the first of which is relatively weak in intensity The two-dimensional pulse stack exhibits an obvious nulling phenomenon,with an estimated nulling fraction o40.1%±5.4%.The durations of the nulls and bursts are consistent with power-law distributions,and no periodi nulling phenomenon is found.The results from PSR J1617+1123 demonstrate that the average pulse profile i composed of four components.The peak intensity of the fourth component varies significantly,causing an unstabl integrated profile.In addition,the modulation characteristics of J1611-0114 and J1617+1123 were studied by analyzing the modulation index,longitude resolved fluctuation spectrum and two-dimensional fluctuation spectrum using the software PSRSALSA.It was found that the two pulsars exhibit intensity modulation.In particular,J1611-0114 displays even-odd modulation,with the modulation period of approximately two pulses.The modulation period of J1617+1123 is relatively broad.There is an obvious subpulse drift phenomenon,and the value of P_(2)i~0.125c/P_(0),corresponding to 12 pulse longitude bins,and the drift rate(P_(2)/P_(3))is about 0.29.

Long-term variations of X-ray pulse profiles for the Crab pulsar:data analysis and modeling

The pulse profiles of the Crab pulsar(as well as some other pulsars)vary with time.They can lead to a major source of intrinsic timing noise,which lacks a detailed physical model.The phase separation?between the first left peak(P1)and the second right peak(P2)is a key parameter that shows the variations of pulse profiles for the Crab pulsar.It was found that the evolution of?has a tendency with increasing rates of 0.82?±0.25?,0.80?±0.54?,and 0.77?±0.28?per century for the 2-6,6-15,and15-60 ke V bands,respectively.Furthermore,the flux ratios(P2/P1)of X-ray pulse profiles in the three bands were calculated,and the derived flux ratios were consistent with the radio and X-ray measurements of the Insight-HXMT.In addition to discovering the physical origin of the pulse changes,the high-SNR X-ray pulse profiles were simulated in the annular gap model,and two model parameters(e.g.,the maximum emission heights of the two peaks)were observed to slightly affect the variations of peak separation.We fitted the long-term variations of emission heights of the two peaks and discovered that the emission heights showed increasing tendencies with time.Variations of these emission heights induced a characteristic period derivative,and a complete formula for both the magnetic dipole radiation and wind-particle-induced variations of the moment of inertia was used for the pulsar’s spin-down to obtain the variation rate˙αof the magnetic inclination angle,which was-1.60?per century.Intrinsic timing noise is observed to be mainly induced by the variations of pulse profiles,which might correlate with a characteristic spin period derivative arising from the fluctuations of the emission regions.This work will lay a foundation for understanding the origin of intrinsic timing noise and making high-precision timing models in the future.
