Abstract

AbstractPulsars are potentially the most remarkable physical laboratories we will ever use. Although in many senses they are extremely clean systems there are a large number of instabilities and variabilities seen in the emission and rotation of pulsars. These need to be recognised in order to both fully understand the nature of pulsars, and to enable their use as precision tools for astrophysical investigations. Here I describe these effects, discuss the wide range of timescales involved, and consider the implications for precision pulsar timing.
