As is known, resonant scattering can distort the surface-brightness profiles of clusters of galaxies in X-ray lines. We demonstrate that the scattered line emission should be polarized and possibly detectable with near-future X-ray…

A number of pulsars are known to have profile evolution on timescales of months, often correlated with spin-down rate changes. Here, we present the first result from 3 years of monitoring observations from MeerKAT as part of the Thousand…

Radio observations from normal pulsars indicate that the coherent radio emission is excited by curvature radiation from charge bunches. In this review we provide a systematic description of the various observational constraints on the radio…

Recycled pulsars are mainly characterized by their spin periods, B-fields and masses. All these quantities are affected by previous interactions with a companion star in a binary system. Therefore, we can use these quantities as fossil…

In this paper we return to the old problem of conal component-pair widths and profile dimensions. Observationally, we consider a set of 10 pulsars with prominent conal component pairs, for which well measured profiles exist over the largest…

The stochastic gravitational wave background for pulsar timing arrays is often modeled by a Gaussian ensemble which is isotropic and unpolarized. However, the Universe has a discrete set of polarized gravitational wave sources at specific…

At millimeter wavelengths, the atmospheric emission is circularly polarized owing to the Zeeman splitting of molecular oxygen by the Earth's magnetic field. We report a measurement of the signal in the 150 GHz band using 3 years of…

We present a relativistic model for the motion of charged particles in rotating magnetic field lines projected on to a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. By making an approximation that the projected field lines are straight, an…

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…

We report on our analysis of a large sample of energy dependent pulse profiles of the X-ray binary pulsar Hercules X-1. We find that all data are compatible with the assumption of a slightly distorted magnetic dipole field as sole cause of…

We present an investigation of the morphology and arrival times of integrated radio pulses from the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1022+1001. This pulsar is renowned for its poor timing properties, which have been postulated to originate…

It is shown that the frequency distribution of the degree of circular polarisation for a homogeneous source is sensitive to the properties of the synchrotron emitting plasma. Most of the circular polarisation comes from the region around…

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…

General relativity predicts that the spin axes of the pulsars in the double-pulsar system (PSR J0737-3039A/B) will precess rapidly, in general leading to a change in the observed pulse profiles. We have observed this system over a one-year…
