We have investigated the radio emission from the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1547.0-5408 (PSR J1550-5418) using the Parkes telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The flux density of the pulsar is roughly the same between 1.4 and…

We have used sensitive LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observations of PSR B0809+74 at 15--62 MHz to study the anomalously intensive pulses, first reported by Ulyanov et al. (2006) at 18--30MHz. Similarly to Ulyanov et al., we found that the…
