Timing analysis of PSR J1705$-$1906 using data from Nanshan 25-m and Parkes 64-m radio telescopes, which span over fourteen years, shows that the pulsar exhibits significant proper motion, and rotation instability. We updated the astrometry parameters and the spin parameters of the pulsar. In order to minimize the effect of timing irregularities on measuring its position, we employ the Cholesky method to analyse the timing noise. We obtain the proper motion of $-$77(3) ,mas,yr$^{-1}$ in right ascension and $-$38(29) ,mas,yr$^{-1}$ in declination. The power spectrum of timing noise is analyzed for the first time, which gives the spectral exponent $alpha=-5.2$ for the power-law model indicating that the fluctuations in spin frequency and spin-down rate dominate the red noise. We detect two small glitches from this pulsar with fractional jump in spin frequency of $Delta u/ usim2.9times10^{-10}$ around MJD~55199 and $Delta u/ usim2.7times10^{-10}$ around MJD~55953. Investigations of pulse profile at different time segments suggest no significant changes in the pulse profiles around the two glitches.

Pulsars show two classes of rotational irregularities that can be used to understand neutron-star interiors and magnetospheres: glitches and timing noise. Here we present an analysis of the Vela pulsar spanning nearly 21 yr of observation and includi
ng 8 glitches. We identify the relative pulse number of all of the observations between glitches, with the only pulse-number ambiguities existing over glitch events. We use the phase coherence of the timing solution to simultaneously model the timing noise and glitches in a Bayesian framework, allowing us to select preferred models for both. We find the glitches can be described using only permanent and transient changes in spin frequency, i.e., no step changes in frequency derivative. For all of the glitches, we only need two exponentially decaying changes in spin frequency to model the transient components. In contrast to previous studies, we find that the dominant transient components decay on a common $approx$ 1300 d time scale, and that a larger fraction ( $gtrsim 25%$) of glitch amplitudes are associated with these transient components. We also detect shorter-duration transient components of $approx$ 25 d, as previously observed, but are limited in sensitivity to events with shorter durations by the cadence of our observations. The timing noise is well described by a steep power-law process that is independent of the glitches and subdominant to the glitch recovery. The braking index is constrained to be $<$ 8 with 95% confidence. This methodology can be used to robustly measure the properties of glitches and timing noise in other pulsars.
We present analysis of the timing noise in PSR J1733-3716, which combines data from Parkes 64-m radio telescope and nearly 15 years of timing data obtained from the Nanshan 25-m radio telescope. The variations in the spin frequency and frequency deri
vative are determined. The fluctuation in the spin frequency is obvious with an amplitude of 1.94(7)*10 -9 Hz. Variations of the integrated profile at 1369 MHz are detected with the changes occur in the relative peak intensity from the right profile component. From analysis of the single pulse data at 1382 MHz, we detect weak emission states that account for 63% of the whole data, and its duration distribution can be fitted with a power law. The pulsar also exhibits strong emission states, during which the emission shows multiple modes. This includes the normal mode, left mode and the right mode, with the time scales spanning between one and seventeen pulse periods. Such short term variability in pulses contributes to the variation of the integrated profile. Examination of the correlations between the spin parameters and the integrated profiles shows likelihood of a random distribution, which reveals that there is probably no obvious relationship between spin-down rate variations and changes of emission in this pulsar.
The double pulsar (PSR J0737-3039A/B) provides some of the most stringent tests of general relativity (GR) and its alternatives. The success of this system in tests of GR is largely due to the high-precision, long-term timing of its recycled-pulsar m
ember, pulsar A. On the other hand, pulsar B is a young pulsar that exhibits significant short-term and long-term timing variations due to the electromagnetic-wind interaction with its companion and geodetic precession. Improving pulsar Bs timing precision is a key step towards improving the precision in a number of GR tests with PSR J0737-3039A/B. In this paper, red noise signatures in the timing of pulsar B are investigated using roughly a four-year time span, from 2004 to 2008, beyond which time the pulsars radio beam precessed out of view ... The timing of pulsar B presented in this paper depends on the size of the pulsars orbit, which was calculated from GR, in order to precisely account for orbital timing delays. Consequently, our timing cannot directly be used to test theories of gravity. However, our modelling of the beam shape and radial wind of pulsar B can indirectly aid future efforts to time this pulsar by constraining part of the additional red noise observed on top of the orbital delays. As such, we conclude that, in the idealised case of zero covariance between our models parameters and those of the timing model, our model can bring about a factor 2.6 improvement on the measurement precision of the mass ratio, R = mA/mB, between the two pulsars: a theory-independent parameter, which is pivotal in tests of GR.
We present relativistic analyses of 9257 measurements of times-of-arrival from the first binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16, acquired over the last thirty-five years. The determination of the Keplerian orbital elements plus two relativistic terms completely
characterizes the binary system, aside from an unknown rotation about the line of sight; leading to a determination of the masses of the pulsar and its companion: 1.438 $pm$ 0.001 solar masses and 1.390 $pm$ 0.001 solar masses, respectively. In addition, the complete system characterization allows the creation of tests of relativistic gravitation by comparing measured and predicted sizes of various relativistic phenomena. We find that the ratio of observed orbital period decrease due to gravitational wave damping (corrected by a kinematic term) to the general relativistic prediction, is 0.9983 pm 0.0016; thereby confirming the existence and strength of gravitational radiation as predicted by general relativity. For the first time in this system, we have also successfully measured the two parameters characterizing the Shapiro gravitational propagation delay, and find that their values are consistent with general relativistic predictions. We have also measured for the first time in any system the relativistic shape correction to the elliptical orbit, $delta_{theta}$,although its intrinsic value is obscured by currently unquantified pulsar emission beam aberration. We have also marginally measured the time derivative of the projected semimajor axis, which, when improved in combination with beam aberration modelling from geodetic precession observations, should ultimately constrain the pulsars moment of inertia.
The frequency dependence of radio pulse arrival times provides a probe of structures in the intervening media. Demorest et al. 2013 was the first to show a short-term (~100-200 days) reduction in the electron content along the line of sight to PSR J1
713+0747 in data from 2008 (approximately MJD 54750) based on an apparent dip in the dispersion measure of the pulsar. We report on a similar event in 2016 (approximately MJD 57510), with average residual pulse-arrival times of approximately 3.0,-1.3, and -0.7 microseconds at 820, 1400, and 2300 MHz, respectively. Timing analyses indicate possible departures from the standard nu^-2 dispersive-delay dependence. We discuss and rule out a wide variety of potential interpretations. We find the likeliest scenario to be lensing of the radio emission by some structure in the interstellar medium, which causes multiple frequency-dependent pulse arrival-time delays.
