Scientific paper

The rotation frequency of practically all pulsars is easily measured to be decreasing. For three pulsars, the frequency second derivatives are large enough to have been measured as well. We report here a significant measurement, based on nearly 11 years of radio timing observations, of the third frequency derivative of PSR B1509--58. We find no evidence for glitches in the duration of the data span. Measurement of the third frequency derivative provides a new test of theories of pulsar electrodynamics.
