Fluctuation Properties and Polar Emission Mapping of Pulsar B0834+06 at Decameter Wavelengths

چکیده
Recent results regarding subpulse-drift in pulsar B0943+10 have led to the identification of a stable system of sub-beams circulating around the magnetic axis of the star. Here, we present single-pulse analysis of pulsar B0834+06 at 35 MHz, using observations from the Gauribidanur Radio Telescope. Certain signatures in the fluctuation spectra and correlations allow estimation of the circulation time and drift direction of the underlying emission pattern responsible for the observed modulation. We use the ‘cartographic transform’ mapping technique to study the properties of the polar emission pattern. These properties are compared with those for the other known case of B0943+10, and the implications are discussed.

Interaction between nulls and emission in the pulsar B0834+06
We present a detailed study of the single pulses of the bright radio pulsar B0834+06, and offer evidence that the dominant periodic modulation in this pulsar’s emission governs the occurrence of nulls. The nulls of B0834+06 constitute approximately 9 per cent of the total pulses and we demonstrate that they do not occur at random in the pulse sequence. On the contrary, they are found to occur p...
متن کاملXmm-newton Observations of Radio Pulsars B0834+06 and B0826 34 and Implications for the Pulsar Inner Accelerator
We report the X-ray observations of two radio pulsars with drifting subpulses, B0834+06 and B0826 34, using XMM-Newton. PSR B0834+06 was detected with a total of 70 counts from the three EPIC instruments over 50 ks exposure time. Its spectrum is best described as that of a blackbody (BB), with temperature Ts 1⁄4 (2:0þ2:0 0:9) ; 10 K and bolometric luminosity Lb 1⁄4 (8:6þ14:2 4:4 ) ; 10 erg s . ...
متن کاملEffects of Intermittent Emission: Noise Inventory for Scintillating Pulsar B0834+06
We compare signal and noise for observations of the scintillating pulsar B0834+06, using verylong baseline interferometry and a single-dish spectrometer. Comparisons between instruments and with models suggest that amplitude variations of the pulsar strongly affect the amount and distribution of self-noise. We show that noise follows a quadratic polynomial with flux density, in spectral observa...
متن کاملTopology and Polarisation of Subbeams Associated With Pulsar B0943+10’s ‘Drifting’-Subpulse Emission: II. Analysis of Gauribidanur 35-MHz Observations
In the previous paper of this series Deshpande & Rankin (2001) reported results regarding subpulse-drift phenomenon in pulsar B0943+10 at 430 MHz and 111 MHz. This study has led to the identification of a stable system of subbeams circulating around the magnetic axis of this star. Here, we present a single-pulse analysis of our observations of this pulsar at 35 MHz. The fluctuation properties s...
متن کاملSpark Model for Pulsar Radiation Modulation Patterns
A non-stationary polar gap model first proposed by Ruderman & Sutherland (1975) is modified and applied to spark–associated pulsar emission at radio wavelengths. It is argued that under physical and geometrical conditions prevailing above pulsar polar cap, highly non-stationary spark discharges do not occur at random positions. Instead, sparks should tend to operate in well determined preferred...
