RXTE observations of single pulses of PSR B0531+21: II Test for radio behavior

Abstract

This article is the second in the series that analyze about 1.87 million periods of Crab pulsar, observed by the PCA detector aboard the RXTE x-ray observatory. At these energies the pulsar displays none of the three phenomena that are often seen in normal radio pulsars -- ``pulse nulling'', ``systematic sub pulse drifting'' and ``mode changing''. Presence or absence of these three behavior in the Crab pulsar, at radio wavelengths, something that has not been rigorously established yet, might be important for a satisfactory understanding of the above three phenomena.
