Pulse intensity modulation and the timing stability of millisecond pulsars: A case study of PSR J1713+0747

Most millisecond pulsars, like essentially all other radio pulsars, show timing errors well in excess of what is expected from additive radiometer noise alone. We show that changes in amplitude, shape, and pulse phase for the millisecond pulsar J1713+0747 cause this excess error. These changes appea...
