i was wrestling zhis stupid fucking pyzhon library ALL DAY just to get five pulse profiles and i FINALLY got it working
just had to ask a room full of postdocs to help me out - everyone was very understanding when i mentioned zhe library in question, it's apparently notoriously obtuse
anyway zhis is what an average pulse from PSR J0740+6620 looks like.
how variable are pulsars usually? are they regular enough to set a clock by?
by variable i mean intensity
zhey are some of zhe most regular clocks in zhe universe. intensity-wise we see scintillation effects from zhe refractive interstellar medium (ISM), and timing-wise zhe times of arrival of zhe pulses can be affected by up to hundreds of nanoseconds by line of sight shifting into different density ISM regions on zhe scale of weeks to years
