Gbt Polarization Observations of 100 Pulsars at 774 Mhz
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on polarimetric observations of 100 pulsars centered on 774 MHz, made using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), presenting their polarization profiles and polarized flux densities and comparing them with previous observations when possible. For 67 pulsars, these are the first such measurements made. Polarization profiles of 8 millisecond pulsars in our sample show wide profiles and flat position-angle curves. Strong linear polarization, sometimes approaching 100% of the total intensity, has been detected in all or a part of the average pulse profiles of some pulsars. In general, circular polarization is very weak, although it is observed to be extremely strong in the leading component of PSR J1920+2650. Sense reversal of circular polarization as a function of pulse phase has been detected from both core and other components of more than 20 pulsars. Any relationship between the spin-down luminosity and the percentage of linear polarization is not evident in our data at this frequency. Subject headings: Pulsars: general

متن کاملPolarization observations of nine southern millisecond pulsars
Mean pulse profiles and polarization properties are presented for nine southern pulsars. The observations were made using the Parkes radio telescope at frequencies near 1330 MHz; three of the nine pulsars were also observed at 660 MHz. A very high degree of circular polarization was observed in PSR J1603−7202. Complex position angle variations which are not well described by the rotating-vector...
متن کاملRadio Polarimetry Results for Young Southern Pulsars
We present radio polarimetry results for nine Southern pulsars. Six of the nine are young, with characteristic ages less than 100 kyr and high spin-down luminosities. All six show significant linear polarization, and we confirm a previously noticed trend in which the degree of linear polarization increases with spin-down luminosity. We have used the rotating vector model to fit the observed pos...
متن کاملDetailed study of giant pulses from the millisecond pulsar B 1937 + 21
The second fastest millisecond pulsar, B1937+21, is one of several pulsars known to emit giant pulses (GPs). GPs are characterized by their huge energy, power-law cumulative energy distribution, and particular longitudes of occurrence. All these characteristics are different from those of regular pulses. Here, we present a study of GPs from our observations of the pulsar B1937+21 with the GBT a...
متن کاملGBT Observations of Very Low-Mass Binary Millisecond Pulsars: A Search for Eclipses
We present a search for eclipses of two millisecond pulsars, PSR J1807−2459 and PSR B1908+00. These pulsars are in very low-mass binary systems with orbital parameters similar to those of eclipsing binaries. Observations were made with the GBT at frequencies as low as 575MHz. No eclipses were detected in either system. Observations of well-established eclipsing binary J2051−0827 found eclipses ...
