Individual Pulse Polarization of Pulsars at Low Frequencies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
This paper presents the results of the measurements of linear polarization characteristics of individual pulses at frequencies 40, 60 and 103 MHz for 10 strong pulsars. We have measured total intensity, linear polarization percentage and angle along the pulse window and obtained distribution displays for these data.
Two orthogonal polarization modes are common features in the radiation of pulsars at low frequency. The energy ratio of these two modes can change significantly between different frequencies. The linear polarisation percentage has a general tendency to increase at low frequencies, but by very different factors for different components of the integrated intensity profile. The relationship between the polarization properties of PSR 0943+10 and its mode changing behaviour was studied. It is shown that the energy ratio and the frequency of occurence of two polarization modes change simultaneously with changes in the integrated intensity profile.
