The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT VII: Polarisation properties of pulsars in the Magellanic Clouds

S. Johnston, A. Parthasarathy, R. A. Main +12

The Magellanic Clouds are the only external galaxies known to host radio pulsars. The dispersion and rotation measures of pulsars in the Clouds can aid in understanding their struc…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT III: Giant pulse characteristics of PSR J05406919

Marisa Geyer, Maciej Serylak, Federico Abbate +8

PSR J05406919 is the second-most energetic radio pulsar known and resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Like the Crab pulsar it is observed to emit giant radio pulses (GPs). We…
