Pulse-to-pulse intensity modulation and drifting subpulses in recycled pulsars
We report the detection of pulse-to-pulse periodic intensity modulations, in observations of recycled pulsars. Even though the detection of individual pulses was generally not possible due to their low flux density and short duration, through the accumulation of statistics over sequences of 105–106 pulses we were able to determine the presence and properties of the pulse-to-pulse intensity vari...
متن کاملInner vacuum gap formation and drifting subpulses in pulsars
The problem of formation of the inner vacuum gap in neutron stars with Ω · B < 0 is considered. It is argued by means of the condition Ti/Ts > 1, where Ti is the melting temperature of surface 56 26Fe ions and Ts is the actual temperature of the polar cap surface, that the inner vacuum gap can form, provided that the actual surface magnetic field is extremaly strong (Bs> ∼ 10 13 G) and curved (...
متن کاملDrifting subpulses and inner acceleration regions in radio pulsars
The classical vacuum gap model of Ruderman & Sutherland, in which spark-associated subbeams of subpulse emission circulate around the magnetic axis due to the E × B drift of spark plasma filaments, provides a natural and plausible physical mechanism of the subpulse drift phenomenon. Moreover, this is the only model with quantitative predictions that can be compared with observations. Recent pro...
متن کاملOn the origin of the drifting subpulses in radio pulsars
A model for the main observational characteristics of the radio emission of pulsars with well organized drifting subpulses is presented. We propose that drifting subpulses result from the modulation of the radio emission mechanism due to long-wavelength drift waves in the magnetosphere. The drift waves are generated at shorter wavelengths, and their nonlinear evolution favours accumulation in a...
متن کاملThe Polarization of Drifting Subpulses
Using new techniques based on the polarimetric fluctuation spectrum, the fluctuation behaviour of the polarization of individual pulses is examined in three pulsars that show drifting subpulses, allowing various aspects of the fluctuations to be quantified for the first time. Of the three pulsars studied, only PSR B0809+74 shows behaviour completely consistent with the superposition of orthogon...
