We review the observational features of the 39 glitches detected at Nanshan from 2000 to 2008, including several events which appear to be slow glitches. A wide variety of post-glitch behavior is observed with very little recovery in some pulsars and over-recovery in others. Analysis of the whole sample of known glitches shows that fractional glitch amplitudes are correlated with characteristic age with a peak at about 105 years, but there is a spread of two or three orders of magnitude at all ages. For individual pulsars with many glitches, the time until the next glitch is sometimes proportional to the fractional glitch amplitude.展开更多

A glitch-suppressed charge pump （CP） is employed for reference spur reduction. By forcing the phase frequency detector and CP to operate in a linear region of its transfer function, the linearity of the QPLL is further improved. With the proposed series-quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator, the phase accuracy of the QPLL is guaranteed. The circuit is fab- ricated in the TSMC 0.13/Jm CMOS process and operated at 1.2-V supply voltage. The QPLL measures a phase noise of -95 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset and a reference spur of-71 dBc.

文摘通过对比NICER(Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer)和XPNAV-1(X-ray Pulsar Navigation-1)关于Crab脉冲星同一时段(108天)观测数据的计时处理结果,发现在周期跃变发生前的时段(95天),NICER数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS(root mean square)为5.77μs,远优于XPNAV-1数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS 51.56μs,体现了NICER在有效面积、探测效率、数据采集等方面的优势,给未来我国的X射线脉冲星探测器研制提供了发展方向;而在周期跃变发生后的时段(13天),发现XPNAV-1数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为55.87μs,而NICER数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为167.27μs,周期跃变对NICER的影响更大,说明在处理周期跃变发生后时段的NICER数据时,由于NICER的观测精度非常高,需要更频繁地更新Crab星历。最后分别得到了两个探测器整段数据的计时残差。XPNAV-1数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为55.94μs,而NICER数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为64.34μs,这说明NICER数据受周期跃变影响更为明显,进一步证明了上述结论。
