We have investigated the stability of the pulse frequency second derivatives (ii) of PSR 0823+26, 1706-16, 1749-28 and 2021+51 that show significant quadratic trends in their pulse-frequency histories in order to determine whether the observed second derivatives are secular or if they arise as part: of noise processes. We have used time-of-arrival (TOA) data extending to more than three decades, which are the longest time-spans ever taken into account in pulse-timing analyses. We investigated the stability of the pulse-frequency second derivative in the framework of low-resolution noise power spectra estimated from the residuals of pulse frequency and TOA data. We have found that the v; terms of these sources arise from the red torque noise in the fluctuations of pulse-frequency derivatives, which may originate from the external torques from the magnetosphere of the pulsar.

The Spectral and temporal properties of MAXI J1409-619 Dönmez, Çağatay Kerem; Baykal, Altan; Department of Physics (2019) In this thesis, spectral and timing analysis of the transient high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsar MAXI J1409-619 are presented. MAXI J1409-619 was discovered in October 2010, and went into an outburst in early December 2010 until February 2011. Observations of Swift and RXTE throughout this period are used in the thesis. The analysis results are in line with the assertion that MAXI J1409-619 is an accretion-powered pulsar. Time-resolved energy spectra of RXTE and Swift data confirm the previously reported ...
X-ray flux and pulse frequency changes of three high mass X-ray binary pulsars: Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and OAO 1657-415 Inam, SC; Baykal, Altan (2000-01-01) Using archival BATSE (Burst and Transient Source Experiment) 20-50 keV band X-ray flux and pulse frequency time series, we look for correlations between torque, luminosity and specific angular momentum for three high mass X-ray binary pulsars Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and OAO 1657-415. Our results show that there is no correlation between pulse frequency derivative and flux which may be an indication of the absence of stable prograde accretion disk. From the strong correlation of specific angular momentum and torq...
The effect of sample size turbulence intensity and the velocity field on the experimental accuracy of ensemble averaged PIV measurements Uzol, Oğuz (null; 2001-09-19) A statistical analysis of the PIV data, obtained inside the near wake of a staggered 2-row array of circular cylinders, is performed for the investigation of the effect of sample size, turbulence intensity and the velocity field on the ensemble-averaged data. The PIV measurements are performed at two diameters downstream inside the wake. The ensemble averaged velocity field is obtained using 700 vector maps. The experiments are conducted for a Reynolds number of 10000 based on the inlet velocity and the cyl...
The scaled Hermite–Weber basis in the spectral and pseudospectral pictures Taşeli, Hasan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-10) Computational efficiencies of the discrete (pseudospectral, collocation) and continuous (spectral, Rayleigh-Ritz, Galerkin) variable representations of the scaled Hermite-Weber basis in finding the energy eigenvalues of Schrodinger operators with several potential functions have been compared. It is well known that the so-called differentiation matrices are neither skew-symmetric nor symmetric in a pseudospectral formulation of a differential equation, unlike their Rayleigh-Ritz counterparts. In spite of th...
The detailed analysis of wavefunction overlaps for InAs/AlSb/GaSb based N-structure type-II SL pin photodetectors Hostut, M.; Tansel, T.; Kilic, A.; Akın, Tayfun; Ergun, Y. (2019-07-01) We report on a detailed analysis of electron and hole wave functions with their overlap integrals for InAs/AlSb/GaSb based N-structure type-II superlattice (T2SL) pin detectors under applied reverse bias. Bandgap energies and superlattice minibands are performed by envelope function approximation using pseudopotential method for input parameters such as effective masses and envelope functions at Gamma point. The layer thickness of detector structure is designed to operate in the long wavelength infrared ran...
