Observational constraints on models for the interstellar magnetic field in the Galactic disk
H. Men, K. Ferriere, J. L. Han
Our purpose is to place firm observational constraints on the three most widely used theoretical models for the spatial configuration of the large-scale interstellar magnetic field…
An improved solar wind electron-density model for pulsar timing
X. P. You, G. B. Hobbs, W. A. Coles +2
Variations in the solar wind density introduce variable delays into pulsar timing observations. Current pulsar timing analysis programs only implement simple models of the solar wi…
A Sino-German lambda6 cm polarization survey of the Galactic plane I. Survey strategy and results for the first survey region
X. H. Sun, J. L. Han, W. Reich +4
(Abridged) Polarization measurements of the Galactic plane at lambda6 cm probe the interstellar medium (ISM) to larger distances compared to measurements at longer wavelengths, hen…
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…
The young, highly relativistic binary pulsar J1906+0746
D. R. Lorimer, I. H. Stairs, P. C. C. Freire +33
We report the discovery of PSR J1906+0746, a young 144-ms pulsar in a highly relativistic 3.98-hr orbit with an eccentricity of 0.085 and expected gravitational wave coalescence ti…
Arecibo Pulsar Survey Using ALFA. I. Survey Strategy and First Discoveries
J. M. Cordes, P. C. C. Freire, D. R. Lorimer +21
We report results from the initial stage of a long-term pulsar survey of the Galactic plane using the Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA), a seven-beam receiver operating at 1.4 GHz w…
The inner annular Gap for pulsar radiation: gamma-ray and radio emission
G. J. Qiao, K. J. Lee, H. G. Wang +2
The inner annular gap (IAG), a new type of inner gap whose magnetic field lines intersect the null charge surface (NCS), is proposed to explain -ray and radio emission from puls…
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…
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…
