Polarization observations of nine southern millisecond pulsars
نویسنده
چکیده
Mean pulse profiles and polarization properties are presented for nine southern pulsars. The observations were made using the Parkes radio telescope at frequencies near 1330 MHz; three of the nine pulsars were also observed at 660 MHz. A very high degree of circular polarization was observed in PSR J1603−7202. Complex position angle variations which are not well described by the rotating-vector model were observed in PSRs J2124−3358 and J2145−0750, both of which have very wide profiles. Rotation measures were obtained for all nine pulsars, with two implying relatively strong interstellar magnetic fields. Subject headings: Pulsars: general — polarization — ISM: magnetic field

Pulsars at Parkes
Recent surveys at Parkes, in particular the 70 cm survey of the southern sky, have discovered many pulsars, including 17 millisecond pulsars in the Galactic disk. Timing and polarization observations of some of these pulsars are described. The only two pulsars known to be in orbit around massive non-degenerate stellar companions were also discovered at Parkes, and some recent observational resu...
متن کاملCoherently-Dedispersed Polarimetry of Millisecond Pulsars
We present a large sample of high-precision, coherently-dedispersed polarization profiles of millisecond pulsars at frequencies between 410MHz and 1414MHz. These data include the first polarimetric observations of several of the pulsars, and the first low-frequency polarization profiles for others. Our observations support previous suggestions that the pulse shapes and polarimetry of MSPs are m...
متن کاملPolarization Properties of Nine Southern Radio Pulsars
We report on radio polarimetry observations for nine southern pulsars. Six of the nine in the sample are young, with characteristic ages under 100 kyr and high spin-down luminosities. All six show a signiÐcant degree of linear polarization. We also conÐrm a previously noticed trend in which the degree of linear polarization increases with spin-down luminosity. Where possible, we have used the r...
متن کاملPolarization Observations of 100 Pulsars at 774 Mhz by the Green Bank Telescope
We report on polarimetric observations of 100 pulsars centered on 774 MHz, made using the Green Bank Telescope, presenting their polarization profiles and polarized flux densities and comparing them with previous observations when possible. For 67 pulsars, these are the first such measurements made. Polarization profiles of 8 millisecond pulsars in our sample show wide profiles and flat positio...
