Understanding the residual patterns of timing solutions of radio pulsars with a model of magnetic field oscillation

Understanding the residual patterns of timing solutions of radio pulsars with a model of magnetic field oscillation

We explain some phenomena existing generally in the timing residuals: amplitude and sign of the second derivative of a pulsar's spin-frequency ($\ddot\nu$), some sophisticated residual patterns, which also change with the time span of data segments. The sample is taken from Hobbs et al.\,(2010), in which the pulsar's spin-frequency and …
