Vela pulsar timing over 21 years |
by Simon Johnston (CASS) |
Shannon et al.
(2016) present observations of the Vela pulsar over a period of 21 years
during which time the pulsar has rotated nearly than 7.5 billion times. They
study the 8 glitches of the pulsar which have occurred over this timespan and
comment on the recovery from the glitches. - Reference: Shannon, R.M.;
