Figure 1. The galactic distributions of known millisecond and binary pulsars in 1990 and 1996.


Figure 2. The period variations in PSR J1741-3056, attributable to the pulsar's eccentric orbit with a star of mass exceeding 11 solar masses.


Figure 3. The Crab pulsar observed at the end of 1997. Each vertical line represents one whole period, showing the main pulse and interpulse. Both are followed by weak "echoes" which merge with them during the next two months.
