Pulsars emit low-frequency radio waves through to high-energy gamma-rays that are generated anywhere from the surface out to the edges of the magnetosphere. Detecting correlated mode changes in the multi-wavelength emission is therefore key…

The pulsar radio emission is generated in the near magnetosphere of the neutron star and it has to propagate through the rest of it to emerge into the interstellar medium. An important issue is whether this propagation affects the planes of…
