HOW VARIABLE IS ACCRETION IN YOUNG STARS?
2009
Astrophysical Journal
As proxies for the accretion rate, we use the H-alpha 10% width and the CaII-8662 line flux. We find that while the two quantities are correlated, their variability amplitude is not. ...
Converted to accretion rates, the CaII fluxes indicate typical accretion rate changes of 0.35 dex, with 32% exceeding 0.5 dex, while H-alpha 10% width suggests changes of 0.65 dex, with 66% exceeding 0.5 ...
Next, the maximum flux level of Hα emission was measured with respect to this continuum level. ...

Profile changes associated with DM events in PSR J1713+0747
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Propagation effects in the interstellar medium and intrinsic profile changes can cause variability in the timing of pulsars, which limits the accuracy of fundamental science done via pulsar timing. One of the best timing pulsars, PSR J1713+0747, has gone through two "dip" events in its dispersion measure time series. If these events reflect real changes in electron column density, they should lead to multiple imaging. We show that the events are are well-fit by an underdense corrugated sheet

... el, and look for associated variability in the pulse profile using principal component analysis. We find that there are transient pulse profile variations, but they vary in concert with the dispersion measure, unlike what is expected from lensing due to a corrugated sheet. The change is consistent in shape across profiles from both the Greenbank and Arecibo radio observatories, and its amplitude appears to be achromatic across the 820 MHz, 1.4 GHz, and 2.3 GHz bands, again unlike expected from interference between lensed images. This result is puzzling. We note that some of the predicted lensing effects would need higher time and frequency resolution data than used in this analysis. Future events appear likely, and storing baseband data or keeping multiple time-frequency resolutions will allow more in-depth study of propagation effects and hence improvements to pulsar timing accuracy.
