We have developed a model for pulsar polarization by taking into account of viewing geometry, rotation and modulation of the emission region. By solving for the plasma dynamics, we deduced the expressions for curvature radiation electric…
Because of the corotation, the polarization angle (PA) curve of a pulsar lags the intensity profile by 4r/Rlc rad in pulse phase. I present a simple and short derivation of this delay-radius relation to show that it is not caused by the…
We use a set of carefully selected published average multifrequency polarimetric observations for six bright cone dominated pulsars and devise a method to combine the multifrequency polarization position angle (PPA) sweep traverses. We…
The radiation by relativistic plasma particles is beamed in the direction of field line tangents in the corotating frame, but in an inertial frame it is aberrated toward the direction of rotation. We have revised the relation of aberration…
Interstellar scattering causes broadening and distortion to the mean pulse profiles and polarization position angle (PPA) curves, especially to the pulse profiles observed at lower frequency. This paper has implemented a method to recover…
We present here a direct comparison of the polarisation position angle (PA) profiles of 17 pulsars, observed at 1.4 and 3.1 GHz. Absolute PAs are obtained at each frequency, permitting a measurement of the difference in the profiles. By…
We re-examine the characteristic polarization angle sweep of rotation-powered pulsars and calculate the expected deviations from this sweep caused by aberrational effects and by polar-cap current flow. We find that in addition to the…
Radio polarization measurements of pulsed emission from pulsars offer a valuable insight into the basic geometry of the neutron star: inclination angle between the magnetic and rotation axis and inclination of the line of sight. So far, all…
The observed polarization of radio pulsars involves several peculiar effects, such as comparable amount of orthogonal polarization modes (OPMs) which often bear the same handedness of circular polarisation V. In the average profiles of…
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 diverse polarization properties in pulsars are in conflict with applying a unique emission mechanism to the population. The polarization position angle (PPA) traverse in most pulsars shows a S-shaped curve that can be interpreted using…
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…
The low-frequency profiles of some pulsars manifest temporal broadening due to scattering, usually accompanied by flat polarization position angle (PA) curves. Assuming that the scattering works on the 4 Stokes parameters in the same way,…
It is of great important to study pulsar beam shapes if we are concerned with emission theories and pulsar birth rate. Both observations and/or the inverse Compton scattering model show that different emission components are emitted from…
The magnetospheric locations of pulsar radio emission region are not well known. The actual form of the so--called radius--to--frequency mapping should be reflected in the aberration--retardation (A/R) effects that shift and/or delay the…
The perturbations such as rotation and PC--current have been believed to be greatly affecting the pulsar radio emission and polarization. The two effects have not been considered simultaneously in the literature, however, each one of these…
The direction of polarization produced by a moving source rotates with the respect to the rest frame. We show that this effect, induced by pulsar rotation, leads to an important correction to polarization swings within the framework of…
We present an inverse mapping approach to determining the emission height of the optical photons from pulsars, which is directly constrained by empirical data. The model discussed is for the case of the Crab pulsar. Our method, using the…
The polarization position angles (PA) of pulsar radio emission occupy a distribution that can be much wider than what is expected from the average linear polarization and the off-pulse instrumental noise. Contrary to our limited…
