Pulsar “drifting”-subpulse polarization: No evidence for systematic polarization-angle rotations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polarization-angle density displays are given for pulsars B0809+74 and B2303+30, which exhibit no evidence of the systematic polarization-angle rotation within individual subpulses previously reported for these two stars. The “drifting” subpulses of both pulsars exhibit strikingly linear and circular polarization which appears to reflect the characteristics of two nearly orthogonally polarized emission “modes” – along which the severe average-profile depolarization that is characteristic of their admixture at comparable overall intensities.

Exploring the remarkable subpulse drift and polarization properties of PSR B0818−41
PSR B0818−41 is one of the few pulsars which show multiple drift regions having well defined phase relationship. In this paper we report new results from the multifrequency observations of this pulsar with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We determine the mean flux of the pulsar at multiple frequencies and find evidence for a low frequency turnover in its spectrum. Significant linear...
متن کاملOn the subpulse modulation, polarization and sub-beam carousel configuration of pulsar B1857−26
New Giant Metre-Wave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of the five-component pulsar B1857−26 provide detailed insight into its pulse-sequence modulation phenomena for the first time. The outer conal components exhibit a 7.4-rotation period, longitude-stationary modulation. Several lines of evidence indicate a carousel circulation time P̂3 of about 147 stellar rotations, characteristic of a pat...
متن کاملA Non-Radial Oscillation Model for Radio Pulsars
Rachel Rosen: A Non-Radial Oscillation Model for Radio Pulsars (Under the Direction of Dr. J. Christoper Clemens) We present a non-radial oscillation model that can successfully reproduce many properties of drifting subpulses in pulsars. By demonstrating the presence of oscillation modes in pulsars, we hope to pave the way for astroseismology of neutron stars. This model is an alternative to th...
متن کاملThe topology and polarization of subbeams associated with the ‘drifting’ subpulse emission of pulsar B0943+10 – VI. Analysis of an 8-h Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observation
We report analysis of an 8-h observation of PSR B0943+10 at 325 MHz performed at the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India. B0943+10 is well known for displaying regular subpulse drifting and two emission modes. We investigate the modal behaviour of B0943+10. By reconstructing an entire ‘B’ mode from two consecutive ‘B’ modes, we estimate that the pulsar spends roughly 7.5 h in the ‘B...
متن کاملUvA - DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) The subpulse modulation properties
We present the results of a systematic, unbiased search for subpulse modulation of 187 pulsars performed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in the Netherlands at an observing wavelength of 21 cm. Using new observations and archival WSRT data we have increased the list of pulsars that show the drifting subpulse phenomenon by 42, indicating that at least one in three pulsars exh...
