Summary

Pulsar radio emission is variable on many time scales, from nanosecond structure in single pulses to intermittency on timescales of many years. Isolated single pulses may be intense individual pulses from a regular sequence, or individual fast radio bursts. The excitation of radio emission varies both in its location and its timing.
