1 Pulsar Studies at Urumqi Na Wang Urumqi Observatory, NAOC

2 History of Urumqi Observatory Nov 1957: Founded, Urumqi Satellite Observation Station, Chinese Academy Of Sciences (CAS) Oct 1987: Urumqi Observatory, CAS Apr 2001: Urumqi Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories of CAS

3 The Nanshan Station of Urumqi Observatory Built in 1993 as a VLBI station 76 km to the south Urumqi Altitude: 2080 m On Tianshan Mountain, called Nanshan

7 Glitch & Timing noise Proper motion Scintillation: DISS & RISS Emission & single pulse Transient source Searching New backend 80m Application: GW, navigation & time keeper Future Work done at Urumqi

8 Glitch & Timing Noise Study

9 For the slow glitch, there was a continuous increase in frequency for about 300~d followed by a return to the initial state for the next 500~d. Associated with the spin-up process is a decreasing slow-down rate (increasing ) which lasted 120~d with maximum. The slow-down rate then decayed to approximately the pre-glitch level within 220~d. The fractional changes in frequency and frequency derivative before and after the slow glitch are and respectively. Urumqi: Detected a slow glitch in PSR B1822-09 (J1825-0935) Similar glitches were also observed in PSR B1822-09 by Shabanova & Urama (2000) Unusual glitch behaviours of two young pulsars

10 Significant cubic terms with opposite signal are present in the pre- and post-glitch data, suggesting a sign change in at the time of the glitch. The jump in at MJD 52220 has the reversed sign of before and after the glitch. There was little or no change in at the time of the glitch. Detected one glitch in PSR J1835-1106 Zou, W.
