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…
