    Abstract: Singularities in three non-Schwarzschild space-times: Minkowski, Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker and Reissner-Nordstromare investigated. Gravitational collapse in the Schwarzschild solution is obvious and widely studied. However, gravitational collapse should not be limited to Schwarzschild solution only as interesting findings exist in other me... Show More

    Abstract: Detailed investigation of improved timing observations has shown that the spin properties of a large population of rotation-powered pulsars on a varied range of timescales are strongly dominated by random fluctuations. Even though, there is no widely accepted way to characterize timing noise in these pulsars mainly due to the enormous complexity in ... Show More
