Correcting the measured values of the rate of change of the spin and orbital periods of rotation powered pulsars

For rotation powered pulsars, the rate of change of the spin period is expected to be positive. On the other hand, for a clean binary system (where gravity is the only force acting on the pulsar) the rate of change of the orbital period is expected to be negative. There are, however, some pulsars with the measurements of the rate of change of the spin period as negative quantities. Likewise, there are some pulsars with positive measurements of the rate of change of the orbital period. We investigate these cases by eliminating the external dynamical effects. We also look at those cases where at first, the measured values possess the correct sign, but on subtracting the dynamical effects, the sign changes. We use `GalDynPsr’ package to perform these tasks. Moreover, we investigate possible reasons for such anomalies.
