چکیده

The single-pulse properties of the millisecond radio pulsar PSR B1937+21 are studied in the 1410 MHz radio band. Aside from occasional “giant pulses” occurring in restricted regions of pulse phase, the emission appears to be remarkably stable, showing no pulse-to-pulse fluctuations other then those induced by propagation through the interstellar medium. This type of behavior has not been seen in any other pulsar although it was seen in previous 430 MHz observations of this source. The stability of PSR B1937+21 can be understood in the context of the sparking gap model of radio pulsar emission. Given the emission properties of this source at 430 MHz, this model predicts that the emission at all higher frequencies will be just as stable. Since the stability depends on the outflow velocity of the emitting plasma, an upper bound may be placed on its Lorentz factor. Subject headings: pulsars:general, pulsars:individual (PSR B1937+21)

We are carrying out a search for Lyα emitting galaxies at z = 6.5 employing slitless spectroscopy at the VLT. In our 43 arcmin field we find three isolated single emission lines with SEDs consistent with line emitting galaxies at z = 6.5.

Deshpande & Rankin (1999, 2001) claim that the frequency of the very narrow feature, in the spectrum of radio flux variations of PSR B0943+10, is an alias of its actual value. They also claim to have detected an amplitude modulation on the above phase modulation. This paper argues that both these claims are unjustified.
