射电脉冲星周期跃变被认为是研究中子星内部结构和状态的极好探 针。脉冲星高频巡天发现了一批年青脉冲星,脉冲星周期跃变的观测研究 也有了飞快进展。至少发现了25颗有跃变现象的脉冲星(简称跃变脉冲星)和76 次跃变事件。PSR J0835-4510 是目前已有跃变脉冲星中跃变活动参数最高 的,PSR J1341-6220的跃变活动最频繁,而PSR J1614-5047在1995年发 生的跃变是规模最大的。不同脉冲星的跃变事件的恢复过程很不相同。
The glitch of radio pulsars is excellent probe for investigating the interior structure and state of neutron stars. A much larger sample of young pulsars were discovered with relatively high-freguency survers and at least 76 glitches are found in 25 pulsars. Among them PSR J0835-4510 suffers many giant glitches. 12 glitches in PSR J1341--6220 make it the most frequently glitching pulsar known so far. The largest known glitch in PSR J1614--5047 occured in 1995. The post--glitch relaxation varies from pulsar to pulsar.
