Giant Radio Pulses from the Millisecond Pulsar PSR B1937+21 at 327 MHz
نویسنده
چکیده
Seven giant radio pulses were recorded from the millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21 during ≈ 8.1 minutes observation by the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) at 326.5 MHz. Although sparse, these observations support most of the giant pulse behavior reported at higher radio frequencies (430 to 2380 MHz). Within the main component of the integrated profile, they are emitted only in a narrow (∼ 47 μs) window of pulse phase, close to its peak. This has important implications for doing super-high precision timing of PSR B1937+21 at low radio frequencies.

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 i...

متن کاملMultifrequency Observations of Giant Radio Pulses from the Millisecond Pulsar B1937+21
Giant pulses are short, intense outbursts of radio emission with a power-law intensity distribution that have been observed from the Crab Pulsar and PSRB1937+21. We have undertaken a systematic study of giant pulses from PSRB1937+21 using the Arecibo telescope at 430, 1420, and 2380 MHz. At 430 MHz, interstellar scattering broadens giant pulses to durations of ∼ 50 μsecs, but at higher frequenc...

We present a total of 48 minutes of observations of the nearby, bright millisecond pulsar PSR J0437[4715 taken at the Parkes Observatory in Australia. The data were obtained at a central radio frequency of 1380 MHz using a high-speed tape recorder that permitted coherent Nyquist sampling of 50 MHz of bandwidth in each of two polarizations. Using the high time resolution available from this volt...
