PSR J2222$-$0137 is one of the nearest and best studies of binary pulsars and a unique laboratory for testing gravitational theories. We report single pulses' energy distribution and polarization from the pulsar's main-pulse region. The single pulse energy follows the log-normal distribution. We resolve a steep polarization swing, but at the current time resolution ($64\\,\\mu{\\rm s}$), we find no evidence for the orthogonal jump in the main-pulse region, as has been suspected. We find a potential sub-pulse drifting period of $P_{3} \\sim 3.5\\,P$. We analyse the jitter noise from different integrated numbers of pulses and find that its $\\sigma_{j}$ is $270\\pm{9}\\,{\\rm ns}$ for 1-hr integration at 1.25 GHz. This result is useful for optimizing future timing campaigns with FAST or other radio telescopes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-21T12:37:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "timing properties", "five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope", "polarimetry", "variability", "recycled pulsar psr j2222" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
