An investigation of the absolute circular polarization in radio pulsars
In most pulsars, the circularly polarized component, Stokes V , is weak in the average pulse profiles. By forming the average profile of |V | from single pulses we can distinguish between pulsars where V is weak in the individual pulses and those where large V of variable handedness is observed from one pulse to the other. We show how |V | profiles depend on the signal-to-noise ratio of V in th...
متن کاملOn the origin of the circular polarization in radio pulsars
Properties of circularly polarized waves are studied in the pulsar magnetosphere plasma. It is shown that some observational characteristics of the circular polarization observed in the pulsar radio emission can be qualitatively explained in the framework of the model based on anomalous Doppler resonance. Performed analysis provides that if the difference between Lorentz factors of electrons an...
متن کاملAltitude-dependent polarization in radio pulsars
Because of the corotation, the polarization angle (PA) curve of a pulsar lags the intensity profile by 4r/Rlc rad in pulse phase. I present a simple and short derivation of this delay-radius relation to show that it is not caused by the aberration (understood as the normal beaming effect) but purely by contribution of corotation to the electron acceleration in the observer’s frame. Available al...
متن کاملPolarization Properties of Nine Southern Radio Pulsars
We report on radio polarimetry observations for nine southern pulsars. Six of the nine in the sample are young, with characteristic ages under 100 kyr and high spin-down luminosities. All six show a signiÐcant degree of linear polarization. We also conÐrm a previously noticed trend in which the degree of linear polarization increases with spin-down luminosity. Where possible, we have used the r...
متن کاملRadio circular polarization of active galaxies
We present the first results of a circular polarization survey conducted with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We demonstrate the ability to make circular polarization measurements with a standard error of only 0.01 per cent, and have detections from both blazar and non-blazar active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our results show that, as a group, BL Lac sources and quasars have systemati...
