Extremely strong magnetic fields change the vacuum index of refraction. Although this polarization dependent effect is small for typical neutron stars, it is large enough to decouple the polarization states of photons traveling within the…
The major programme for observing young, non-recycled pulsars with the Parkes telescope has transitioned from a narrow-band system to an ultra-wideband system capable of observing between 704 and 4032 MHz. We report here on the initial two…

Propagation of radio waves in the ultrarelativistic magnetized electron-positron plasma of pulsar magnetosphere is considered. Polarization state of the original natural waves is found to vary markedly on account of the wave mode coupling…
Polarization observations of radio pulsars show that abrupt transitions in the polarization vector's position angle can be accompanied by large excursions in the vector's ellipticity angle, suggesting the vector passes near the right or…

The eclipses seen in the radio emission of some pulsars can be invaluable to study the properties of the material from the companion stripped away by the pulsar. We present a study of six consecutive eclipses of PSR J0024-7204O in the…
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…
We report the discovery of three binary millisecond pulsars during the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey of the Galactic Plane. The objects are highly recycled and are in orbits of many tens of days about low-mass white-dwarf companions. The…
We present polarisation observations of five pulsars whose profiles exhibit two distinct emission regions separated by close to 180 degrees of longitude. We fitted the position angle of the linear polarisation using the rotating vector…
The magnetosphere of a pulsar is composed of relativistic plasmas streaming along the magnetic field lines and corotating with the pulsar. We study the intrinsic Faraday rotation in the pulsar magnetosphere by critically examining the wave…
Observations with the Parkes radio telescope of the eclipsing millisecond binary pulsar PSR J1748$-$2446A, which is in the globular cluster Terzan 5, are presented. These include the first observations of this pulsar in the 3\,GHz frequency…
The polarisation conversion of a linear polarised electromagnetic wave incident onto a two-dimensional (2D) electron system at an angle is theoretically studied. We consider the 2D system located at the interface between two dielectric…
We present the model of eclipsing a rotating, spatially extended source of directional emission by a central absorber, and apply it to the pulsar magnetosphere. The model assumes the radially extended inward radio emission along the local…
The large-scale magnetic field of our Galaxy can be probed in three dimensions using Faraday rotation of pulsar signals. We report on the determination of 223 rotation measures from polarization observations of relatively distant southern…

Polarization measurements provide strong constraints on models for emission from rotation-powered pulsars. We present multiwavelength polarization predictions showing that measurements over a range of frequencies can be particularly…
We present a study of PSR J1723-2837, an eclipsing, 1.86 ms millisecond binary radio pulsar discovered in the Parkes Multibeam survey. Radio timing indicates that the pulsar has a circular orbit with a 15 hr orbital period, a low-mass…
