We have carried out a study of the orthogonal polarisation mode behaviour as a function of frequency of 18 pulsars, using average pulsar data from the European Pulsar Network (EPN). Assuming that the radiation consists of two 100% polarised…

We present polarisation profiles for 48 southern pulsars observed with the new 10-cm receiver at the Parkes telescope. We have exploited the low system temperature and high bandwidth of the receiver to obtain profiles which have good signal…

The angle of rotation of any target about the radar line of sight (LOS) is known as the polarization orientation angle. The orientation angle is found to be non-zero for undulating terrains and man-made targets oriented away from the radar…

We present a detailed polarimetric analysis of Cen X-3 using \ixpe observations during its high state, revealing complex energy-dependent polarization behavior. While phase-averaged polarization shows marginal energy dependence,…

We show that intensity dependent depolarization of single pulses (e.g., Xiluoris et al. 1994) may be due to the nonlinear decay of the "upper" ordinary mode into an unpolarized extraordinary mode and a backward propagating wave. The decay…

We consider the polarization properties of radiation emitted by relativistic charged particles while moving along the curved magnetic field lines in a pulsar manetosphere. We propose that the radiation emitted by positrons and electrons…

We investigate polarization of high-energy emissions from the Crab pulsar in the frame work of the outer gap accelerator. The recent version of the outer gap, which extends from inside the null charge surface to the light cylinder, is used…

We assume that the relativistic sources moving along the dipolar magnetic field lines emit curvature radiation. The beamed emission occurs in the direction of tangents to the field lines, and to receive it, the sight line must align with…

We study the mean profiles of the multi--component pulsars PSRs B1839+09, B1916+14 and B2111+46. We estimate the emission height of the core components, and hence find the absolute emission altitudes corresponding to the conal components.…
