Pulsar timing is the art of accounting for every rotation of a pulsar. It is an extremely great tool for probing various astrophysical phenomena of the interior of neutron stars, their magnetospheres, the interstellar medium, etc. In this talk, I will present the various efforts I have been involved in related to pulsar timing. I will focus on a few monitoring programs with Indian radio telescopes: the Ooty Radio Telescope and the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. These monitoring programs aim to detect pulsar glitches in young pulsars and provide highly-sensitive, low-frequency data for PTA experiments using millisecond pulsars. I will also present the InPTA-EPTA combined efforts and the IPTA projects I have been involved with in the past few months.      <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brief CV of Jaikhomba Singha:<\/p>\n<p>I am a research scholar working on various observational and theoretical aspects of Neutron Stars. On the theoretical front, I am interested in understanding the composition and the structure of Neutron Star interiors. On the observational front, I mostly work on timing these exotic systems through radio observations using the two Indian radio telescopes: Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) and upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT). For the past few years, I have been monitoring a sample of young pulsars using these facilities to look for irregularities in the timing evolution of these pulsars. I am also a member of the Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA) Experiment, where we observe a sample of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) to obtain high sensitive low frequency data. For the collaboration, I have been leading a couple of projects related to timing, profile changes and Interstellar Medium studies. Recently, I have also started to join and work in various working groups of the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) and the International Pulsar Timing Array collaboration.      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4439","seminari","type-seminari","status-publish","hentry","categorie_seminari-colloquium"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seminari\/4439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seminari"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/seminari"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
