Topology and Polarisation of Subbeams Associated With Pulsar B0943+10’s ‘Drifting’-Subpulse Emission: II. Analysis of Gauribidanur 35-MHz Observations

چکیده
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 seen at this low frequency, as well as our independent estimates of the number of subbeams required and their circulation time, agree remarkably well with the reported behavior at higher frequencies. We use the ‘cartographic’-transformmapping technique developed in Paper-I to study the emission pattern in the polar region of this pulsar. The significance of our results in the context of radio emission mechanisms is also discussed.

The 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...

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...

The “drifting” subpulses exhibited by some radio pulsars have fascinated both observers and theorists for 30 years, and have been widely regarded as one of the most critical and potentially insightful aspects of their emission. Moreover, Ruderman & Sutherland (1975), in their classic model, suggested that such regular modulation was produced by a system of subbeams, rotating around the magnetic...
متن کاملPulsar Magnetospheric Emission Mapping: Images and Implications of Polar-Cap Weather
The beautiful sequences of “drifting” subpulses observed in some radio pulsars have been regarded as among the most salient and potentially instructive characteristics of their emission, not least because they have appeared to represent a system of subbeams in motion within the emission zone of the star. Numerous studies of these “drift” sequences have been published, and a model of their gener...
