Geodetic Precession and the Binary Pulsar B1913+16
A. Karastergiou, M. Kramer, N. Wex +1
A change of the component separation in the profiles of the binary pulsar PSR B1913+16 has been observed for the first time (Kramer 1998) as expected by geodetic precession. In thi…
Evolution of Multipolar Magnetic Fields in Isolated Neutron Stars and its effect on Pulsar Radio Emission
D. Mitra, S. Konar, D. Bhattacharya +3
The evolution of the multipolar structure of the magnetic field of isolated neutron stars is studied assuming the currents to be confined to the crust. Lower orders () of m…
A transition from linear to circular polarization in pulsar radio emission
Alexis von Hoensbroech, Harald Lesch
At present three pulsars are known which clearly show a strongly increasing degree of circular polarization with frequency. As this is accompanied by a smooth decrease of linear po…
Polarization and the Age of Pulsars
Alexis von Hoensbroech
Using polarimetric radio profiles of 84 pulsars at a wavelength of 6 cm, we present a correlation between the polarization and characteristic age of pulsars. Considering the large…
Natural Polarization Modes in Pulsar Magnetospheres
Alexis von Hoensbroech, Harald Lesch, Thomas Kunzl
We present a comprehensive investigation of the radio polarization properties within the theory of natural electromagnetic wave modes in pulsar magnetospheres. Taking into account…
On the high frequency polarization of pulsar radio emission
A. von Hoensbroech, J. Kijak, A. Krawczyk
We have analyzed the polarization properties of pulsars at an observing frequency of 4.9 GHz. Together with low frequency data, we are able to trace polarization profiles over more…
