But people have found that the spectra of some pulsars exhibit flat or steep spectra. Flat spectra refer to radio spectra with spectral indices ranging from –1 to 1, while steep spectra refer to radio spectra with spectral indices less than –2.5. We used the ATNF pulsar catalog and other literature to identify 239 flat-spectrum pulsars and 159 steep-spectrum pulsars, and conducted statistical analysis on the spatial position, magnetic field, spectral index, dispersion measure, and radio luminosity of these pulsars. The research results indicate that flat-spectrum and steep-spectrum pulsars are mainly concentrated near the galactic plane. The average spectral index of flat-spectrum pulsars is –0.62, with an average dispersion measure of 195.7 pc cm<sup>−3</sup>, while the average spectral index of steep-spectrum pulsars is –2.88, with an average dispersion measure of 96.5 pc cm<sup>−3</sup>. The characteristic age of flat-spectrum pulsars is also smaller than that of steepspectrum pulsars. There is a certain correlation between the dispersion measure of these two types of pulsars and their ages, rotation period changing rates, and surface magnetic fields, with the stronger correlations observed in flat-spectrum pulsars. In addition, there is a strong correlation between the dispersion measure of flat-spectrum pulsars and their rotational energy loss rates, while no such correlation has been found between the dispersion measure of steep-spectrum pulsars and their rotational energy loss rates. These correlations may indicate that the interstellar medium has a significant impact on the evolution process of flat-spectrum and steep-spectrum pulsars.</p>","PeriodicalId":681,"journal":{"name":"Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies","volume":"42 2","pages":"62 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147559299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding regular and irregular ionospheric processes, therefore, remains a critical scientific objective. At present, empirical models of wave disturbances that capture diurnal, seasonal, and longer-term global variations in their parameters do not exist. Developing such models requires consistent, continuous observations worldwide; however, because such coverage is unattainable, researchers typically focus on measurements obtained during characteristic geophysical periods, including the spring and autumn equinoxes and the summer and winter solstices. The present study follows this approach. This work reports the results of an analysis of diurnal and seasonal variations in electron density and associated wave disturbances in the ionospheric F2 layer during the 24th solar activity cycle. To monitor ionospheric conditions, we employed a custom-built digital ionosonde developed at the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. After constructing time series of critical frequencies, the trend and the difference between the original series and the trend were calculated. We determined the electron density and its increment from the critical frequency of the ordinary component of the reflected signal.

In this work, we explore a complementary approach grounded in data-driven inference: using synthetic QPO datasets generated from theoretically motivated spin-frequency relations, we apply Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) to recover the underlying spin parameter of a stellar-mass black hole. Our method is tailored for computational accessibility, requiring minimal training data, no large-scale simulations, and modest hardware while retaining physical interpretability. The GPR model successfully reconstructs the spin parameter from noisy QPO signals with high confidence, highlighting the potential of non-parametric machine learning in extracting astrophysical parameters where traditional likelihoods fail or become intractable. We discuss the implications for future observations from next-generation X-ray observatories, and advocate for broader use of Bayesian non-parametric techniques in theoretical astrophysics.

The collective manifestation of these processes is referred to as a geospace storm. Geospace storms are associated with intense disturbances of the geomagnetic field, the ionosphere, the upper atmosphere (thermosphere), the geoelectric field of magnetospheric-ionospheric-atmospheric origin, the troposphere, and telluric currents. All these disturbances are closely interconnected. Therefore, a geospace storm can be understood as a synergistically interacting system of magnetic, ionospheric, atmospheric, and electrical storms. Every geospace storm is a unique phenomenon. In addition to general patterns, each storm has its own individual characteristics. For this reason, the study of each new storm remains a relevant scientific task. An interesting event occurred in early January 2015: a recurrent sequence of three geomagnetic storms over the course of 1 week. The purpose of this study is to describe the features of fluctuations in the level and spectral composition of the geomagnetic field during these three successive storms from January 2 to 8, 2015. The core of the magnetometric system located at the magnetometric observatory of the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (geographic coordinates: 49.65° N, 36.93° E) is the IM-II induction magnetometer-fluxmeter. It offers high sensitivity (0.5…500 pT for periods of 1–1000 s, respectively). The signal output from the magnetometer, initially in relative units and accounting for the instrument’s amplitude-frequency characteristics, is first converted into absolute units (in nanoteslas). Time series of the amplitudes of the horizontal components of the geomagnetic field are then constructed. Subsequently, a system spectral analysis is performed across the period range of 1–1000 s. Analysis of the three recurrent geospace and magnetic storms observed near the maximum of the 24th solar activity cycle revealed the following. During January 2/3, 4/5, and 7/8, 2015, severe magnetospheric storms occurred, with corresponding powers of 180, 240, and 530 GJ/s and energies of approximately 1920, 4800, and 10 500 TJ, respectively. The magnetic storms during January 2/3, 4/5, and 7/8, 2015, were classified as rather moderate, moderate, and strong, with associated energies of 2.5, 3.1, and 4.9 PJ, and power &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; of approximately 200, 50, and 600 GW. At the same time, the &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; power reached 32, 12, and 23 GW, respectively. During January 2/3, 4/5, and 7/8, 2015, the fluctuation level of the horizontal components of the geomagnetic field increased from 0.5 nT by factors of approximately 4–5, 2–3, and 8–10, respectively. These increases correlated with the average power of the geomagnetic storm during its main phase.

The following questions remain unanswered: can there be effects prior to an SE? How long do they last after the end of an SE? Do they appear on the night side of the planet? What effects occur in the magnetically conjugate region? What is the role of dynamic processes and geophysical fields in the interaction of subsystems in the Earth–atmosphere–ionosphere–magnetosphere system during an SE? These questions need to be addressed. The aim of this paper is to present the results of observations of temporal variations of total electron content (TEC) in the ionosphere over China obtained using Global Navigation Satellite System during the SE and reference days. The low-latitude ionosphere has certain features that could not fail to manifest themselves in the effects of the SE. Estimation of the ionospheric response to the annular SE was performed using recordings of GPS satellite signals obtained on dual-frequency receivers. The error of the TEC calculation technique used in the study does not exceed 0.1 TECU. To obtain acceptable results, the mutual motions of the TEC measurement point, lunar shadow, and Earth’s rotation were taken into account. The ionospheric effect of the SE, which consisted in a significant reduction in TEC, was confidently observed at all five stations and for all seven satellites. It was found that the deficit of TEC clearly followed the maximum magnitude value of the SE. The maximum TEC depletion reached 6–7 TECU at a magnitude of <i>M</i><sub>max</sub> ≈ 0.976–0.986. In this case, the relative TEC depletion was 35–37%. The time delay of the maximum reduction in TEC relative to the maximum magnitude of the SE was close to 15 min. This result is in good agreement with the known data. The moments of the beginning and end of the TEC depletion, in general, did not coincide with the changes in the SE magnitude. The duration of the ionospheric effect was usually longer than the duration of the eclipse. There was no clear dependence of the ionospheric effect on latitude and longitude. No increase in the wave activity during the SE was detected.
