Properties of the linearly polarized radiation from PSR B0950+08

Abstract

Measurements of average pulse profiles made with a single linear polarization over the range 41-112 MHz are presented for PSR B0950+08. We show that the observed variable structure of the pulse profiles is a result of Faraday sinusoidal modulation of the pulse intensity with frequency. The rotation measure corresponding to this effect, RM = 4 rad/m^2, is about 3 times greater than the tabulated value of RM = 1.35 rad/m^2.
