Behavior of the Position and Ellipticity Angles at Polarization Mode Transitions in Pulsar Radio Emission
M. M. McKinnon
Polarization observations of radio pulsars show that abrupt transitions in the polarization vector's position angle can be accompanied by large excursions in the vector's elliptici…
