The Effect of aberration on polarization position angle of pulsars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linear polarization position angle (PPA) of pulsar emission shows a wide variety of structures, which deviates from the classical rotating vector model. In this study we investigate the effect on the PPA due to emission arising from a range of heights. We demonstrate that by appropriately choosing the emission height we can reconstruct the PPA sweep across the integrated pulse profiles.

Single Pulse Polarimetric Study of Partial Cones in Pulsars
‘Partial cones’ are classified as pulsars where the steepest gradient (SG) of the polarization-position angle (PPA) traverse lies towards one edge of the total intensity pulse profile. In this paper we present single pulse polarimetric observations of seven pulsars classified as having partial cone profiles observed with the Gaint Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at 325 MHz and the Arecibo Obse...
متن کاملComparing Geometrical and Delay Radio Emission Heights in Pulsars
We use a set of carefully selected published average multifrequency polarimetric observations for six bright cone dominated pulsars and devise a method to combine the multifrequency polarization position angle (PPA) sweep traverses. We demonstrate that the PPA traverse is in excellent agreement with the rotating vector model over this broad frequency range confirming that radio emission emanate...
متن کاملDepolarization and position angle jumps due to relative longitude shift of pulsar beams
Pulsar radio emission is generally found to be linearly polarized over all longitudes of profiles, some times as high as up to 100%. The position angle sweep is in an ‘S’ shape, which can be well understood within the rotating vector model (Radhakrishnan & Cooke 1969). However, depolarization and position angle jumping are often found in the integrated profiles of some pulsars. In this paper, w...
متن کاملCircular Polarization in Pulsar Integrated Profiles: Updates
We update the systematic studies of circular polarization in integrated pulse profiles by Han et al (1998). Data of circular polarization profiles are compiled. Sense reversals can occur in core or cone components, or near the intersection between components. The correlation between the sense of circular polarization and the sense of position angle variation for conal-double pulsars is confirme...
متن کاملRotational sweepback of magnetic field lines in geometrical models of pulsar radio emission
We study the rotational distortions of the vacuum dipole magnetic field in the context of geometrical models of the radio emission from pulsars. We find that at low altitudes the rotation deflects the local direction of the magnetic field by at most an angle of the order of r n, where rn = r/Rlc, r is the radial distance of the radio emission and Rlc is the light cylinder radius. To the lowest ...
