Upper limits on the pulsed radio emission from the Geminga pulsar at 35 & 327 MHz

چکیده

We report here our observations at 35 MHz and 327 MHz made in the direction of the γ–Ray pulsar Geminga. Based on the observed absence of any significant pulsed emission from this source above our detection thresholds at the two frequencies, we obtain useful upper-limits for the average flux to be 75–100 mJy at 35 MHz, and 0.2–0.3 mJy at 327 MHz. We discuss a few possible reasons for the “radio-quiet” nature of this pulsar at frequencies other than around 100 MHz.

Upper Limits on the Continuum Emission from Geminga at 74 and 326 MHz.

We report a search for radio continuum emission from the gamma-ray pulsar Geminga. We have used the VLA to image the location of the optical counterpart of Geminga at 74 and 326 MHz. We detect no radio counterpart. We derive upper limits to the pulse-averaged flux density of Geminga, taking diffractive scintillation into account. We find that diffractive scintillation is probably quenched at 74...

Upper Limits on Periodic, Pulsed Radio Emission from the X-ray Point Source in Cassiopeia A

The Chandra X-ray Observatory recently discovered an X-ray point source near the center of Cassiopeia A, the youngest known Galactic supernova remnant. We have conducted a sensitive search for radio pulsations from this source with the Very Large Array, taking advantage of the high angular resolution of the array to resolve out the emission from the remnant itself. No convincing signatures of a...

The next Geminga: Search for Radio and X-ray Pulsations from the Neutron Star Identified with 3eg J1835+5918

We report unsuccessful searches for pulsations from the neutron star RX J1836.2+5925 identified with the EGRET source 3EG J1835+5918. A 24-hr observation with the NRAO Green Bank Telescope at 820 MHz placed an upper limit on flux density of 17 μJy for P & 10 ms, and gradually increasing limits for 1 . P . 10 ms. The equivalent luminosity is lower than that of any known pulsar with the possible ...

A Vla Search for the Geminga Pulsar: a Bayesian Limit on a Scintillating Source

We derive an upper limit of 3 mJy (95% conÐdence) for the Ñux density at 317 MHz of the Geminga pulsar (J0633]1746). Our results are based on 7 hours of fast-sampled VLA data, which we averaged synchronously with the pulse period using a period model based on CGRO/EGRET gamma-ray data. Our limit accounts for the fact that this pulsar is most likely subject to interstellar scintillations on a ti...
