The size of the glitch is v/v ~ 2.4 ×10-8, with a relative increment in frequency derivative v/v ~ 5 ×10-3. The observing system is introduced and the observed properties of the glitch are discussed.展开更多

Averaging observations at different epochs, we obtain time scales and decorrelation bandwidths for diffractive scintillation and show that these imply a power-law index for the electron density fluctuation close to 4.0. Assuming this value and that the scattering disk is approximately midway between the pulsar and the earth, we compute transverse velocities for the seven pulsars. These values are generally in good agreement with the proper motion velocities.展开更多
