Pulsars as Probes of the Galactic Magnetic Field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Extract
The high linear polarization of pulsar radiation allows a reasonably easy determination of the Faraday rotation measure. Unlike other radio sources, the impulsive nature of pulsar emission also permits a determination of the number of electrons responsible for the rotation, through the dispersion measure, DM.
