5 GHz TMRT observations of 71 pulsars

Ru-Shuang Zhao, Zhen Yan, Xin-Ji Wu +6

We present integrated pulse profiles at 5~GHz for 71 pulsars, including eight millisecond pulsars (MSPs), obtained using the Shanghai Tian Ma Radio Telescope (TMRT). Mean flux dens…

TMRT observations of 26 pulsars at 8.6 GHz

Ru-Shuang Zhao, Xin-Ji Wu, Zhen Yan +18

Integrated pulse profiles at 8.6~GHz obtained with the Shanghai Tian Ma Radio Telescope (TMRT) are presented for a sample of 26 pulsars. Mean flux densities and pulse width paramet…

The extremely long period X-ray source in a young supernova remnant: a Thorne-Zytkow Object descendant?

X. W. Liu, R. X. Xu, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +4

The origin of the 6.67 hr period X-ray source, 1E161348-5055, in the young supernova remnant RCW 103 is puzzling. We propose that it may be the descendant of a Thorne-Zytkow Object…

The missing compact star of SN1987A: a solid quark star?

X. W. Liu, J. D. Liang, R. X. Xu +2

To investigate the missing compact star of Supernova 1987A, we analyzed both the cooling and the heating processes of a possible compact star based on the upper limit of observatio…

Pulsar rotation measures and the large-scale structure of Galactic magnetic field

J. L. Han, R. N. Manchester, A. G. Lyne +2

The large-scale magnetic field of our Galaxy can be probed in three dimensions using Faraday rotation of pulsar signals. We report on the determination of 223 rotation measures fro…

How fast could a proto-pulsar rotate?

R. X. Xu, H. G. Wang, G. J. Qiao

According to two estimated relations between the initial period and the dynamo-generated magnetic dipole field of pulsars, we calculate the statistical distributions of pulsar init…

Counterclockwise magnetic fields in the Norma spiral arm

J. L. Han, R. N. Manchester, A. G. Lyne +1

Pulsars provide unique probes of the large-scale interstellar magnetic field in the Galactic disk. Up to now, the limited Galactic distribution of the known pulsar population has r…

Possible evidence for the pulsed X-ray emission from outer gap in PSR B1937+21?

H. G. Wang, R. X. Xu, G. J. Qiao

The fastest millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21 presents an interpulse separated from the main pulse by nealy 180^o at radio frequencies. Recently, the ASCA observations (Takahashi et…

Pulsar rotation measures and the magnetic structure of our Galaxy

J. L. Han, R. N. Manchester, G. J. Qiao

We have obtained 63 rotation measures (RMs) from polarization observations of southern pulsars, of which 54 are new measurements and 3 are varied from previous values. The new puls…

Circular polarization in pulsar integrated profiles

J. L. Han, R. N. Manchester, R. X. Xu +1

We present a systematic study of the circular polarization in pulsar integrated profiles, based on published polarization data. For core components, we find no significant correlat…

A Strange Star Model for Pulsars

Ren Xin Xu, Guo Jun Qiao

It is suggested in this paper that the `bare' strange star might be not bare, and there could be a magnetosphere around it. As a strange star might be an intensely magnetized rotat…
