20 01 Are radio pulsars strange stars ?
A remarkably precise observational relation for pulse core component widths of radio pulsars is used to derive stringent limits on pulsar radii, strongly indicating that pulsars are strange stars rather than neutron stars. This is achieved by inclusion of general relativistic effects due to the pulsar mass on the size of the emission region needed to explain the observed pulse widths, which con...
متن کاملAre the infrared-faint radio sources pulsars?
Infrared-Faint Radio Sources (IFRS) are objects which are strong at radio wavelengths but undetected in sensitive Spitzer observations at infrared wavelengths. Their nature is uncertain and most have not yet been associated with any known astrophysical object. One possibility is that they are radio pulsars. To test this hypothesis we undertook observations of 16 of these sources with the Parkes...
متن کاملEnergetic Young Radio Pulsars
Young radio pulsars shed vast amounts of rotational energy, sometimes as high as 100,000 times the total energy loss rate from the sun. The wide range of phenomena resulting from this energy loss include: glitches, timing noise, jets, bow shocks, bullets and plerions and are be reviewed from an observational perspective. Past and proposed surveys for young radio pulsars are summarised along wit...
متن کاملKinematics of Radio Pulsars
A very good fraction of stars in the sky are believed to be in binary (or multiple) systems. Therefore, we expect a good fraction of pulsars to have originated in binary systems. However, observations of pulsars have shown that most of the pulsars are not in binary system now. This would imply that these pulsars must have become solitary after the disruption of their progenitor binary system du...
متن کاملJets from Radio Pulsars
The observational evidence for jets and phenomena arising from rotation powered radio pulsars is reviewed, including many recent and exciting discoveries at X-ray wavelengths. The well studied jets of the Crab pulsar are summarised, including recent results from the HST. The evolutionary links between the known binary radio pulsars and jets sources in X-ray binaries are discussed.
