Polarization characteristics of the Crab pulsar’s giant radio pulses at HFCs phases
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss our recent discovery of the giant radio emission from the Crab pulsar at its high frequency components (HFCs) phases and show the polarization characteristic of these pulses. This leads us to a suggestion that there is no difference in the emission mechanism of the main pulse (MP), interpulse (IP) and HFCs. We briefly review the size distributions of the Crab giant radio pulses (GRPs) and discuss general characteristics of the GRP phenomenon in the Crab and other pulsars.

Amazing properties of giant pulses and the nature of pulsar’s radio emission
For comprehensive studying of giant pulses (GPs) from the Crab pulsar and the original millisecond pulsar (MSP) B1937+21 (J1939+2134), we conducted multifrequency observations over the last few years. They show that giant pulses may be improbably bright, 10, 10 Jy and more, they have extra ordinal spectra and polarization. EM energy concentrated in such strong pulse is high enough to accelerate...
متن کاملGiant Radio Pulses from the Crab Pulsar
Individual giant radio pulses (GRPs) from the Crab pulsar last only a few microseconds. However, during that time they rank among the brightest objects in the radio sky reaching peak flux densities of up to 1500 Jy even at high radio frequencies. Our observations show that GRPs can be found in all phases of ordinary radio emission including the two high frequency components (HFCs) visible only ...
متن کاملThe Brightest Pulses in the Universe: Multifrequency Observations of the Crab Pulsar’s Giant Pulses
We analyze the Crab pulsar at ten frequencies from 0.43 to 8.8 GHz using data obtained at the Arecibo Observatory and report the spectral dependence of all pulse components and the rate of occurrence of large-amplitude ‘giant’ pulses. Giant pulses occur only in the main-and-interpulse components that are manifest from radio frequencies to gamma-ray energies (known as the ‘P1’ and ‘P2’ component...
متن کاملGiant radio pulses of the Crab Pulsar A multifrequency study
Giant pulses (GPs) are a special form of radio emission observed from the Crab pulsar. They differ from regular pulses by their sporadic occurence mainly at the phases of the main pulse (P1) and the interpulse (P2), their flux densities which are at least by a factor of 1000 higher in contrast with regular pulses and their pulse widths ranging from nanoto microseconds. Several theories have bee...
متن کاملLooking into Pulsar Magnetospheres
Diffractive and refractive magnetospheric scintillations may allow a direct testing of the plasma inside the light cylinder. Unusual electrodynamics of the strongly magnetized electron-positron plasma allow separation of the magnetospheric and interstellar scattering. The most distinctive feature of the magnetospheric scintillations is their independence on frequency. Diffractive scattering due...
