Radio emission physics in the Crab pulsar | | J. A. Eilek

9 Jan 2007 | | Abstract: | Our high time resolution observations of individual giant pulses in the Crab pulsar show that both the time and frequency signatures of the interpulse are distinctly different from those of the main pulse. Giant main pulses can occasionally be resolved into short-lived, relatively narrow-band nanoshots. We believe these nanoshots are produced by soliton collapse in strong plasma turbulence. Giant interpulses are very different. Their dynamic spectrum contains narrow, microsecond-long emission bands. We have detected these proportionately spaced bands from 4.5 to 10.5 GHz. The bands cannot easily be explained by any current theory of pulsar radio emission; we speculate on possible new models. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0701252 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
