This work is a continuation of two previous papers of a series, in which we examined the pulse-width statistics of normal radio pulsars. In the first paper we compiled the largest ever database of pulsars with interpulses in their mean…
The frequency dependence of pulse width is studied for 150 normal pulsars, mostly selected from the European Pulsar Network, for which the 10\% multifrequency pulse widths can be well fit with the Thorsett relationship…
With the largest dish Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), both the mean and single pulses of PSR B2016$+$28, especially including the single-pulse structure, are investigated in detail in this study. The mean pulse…
Aims. We explore frequency-dependent changes in pulsar radio emission by analyzing their profile widths and emission heights, assessing whether the simple radius-to-frequency mapping (RFM) or the fan beam model can describe the data.…
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 Double Pulsar, PSR J$0737$$-$$3039$A/B, is a unique system in which both neutron stars have been detected as radio pulsars. As shown in Ferdman et al., there is no evidence for pulse profile evolution of the A pulsar, and the geometry…
We study the observable pulse profiles that can be generated from precessing pulsars. A novel coordinate system is defined to aid visualization of the observing geometry. Using this system we explore the different families of profiles that…
We present a model for the gamma-ray emission of pulsars in terms of curvature radiation by highly relativistic particles. It is shown that the injection of power-law primary particles from an outer gap and subsequent cooling by curvature…
It is difficult to discover pulsars via their gamma-ray emission because current instruments typically detect fewer than one photon per million rotations. This creates a significant computing challenge for isolated pulsars, where the…
Inverse Compton scattering (ICS) is a promising method for generating coherent and tunable x-rays in a compact setup. In this paper, we present a theoretical framework describing the output of an ICS x-ray source for arbitrary interaction…
Interstellar scattering (ISS) of radio pulsar emission can be used as a probe of the ionised interstellar medium (IISM) and causes corruptions in pulsar timing experiments. Two types of ISS phenomena (intensity scintillation and pulse…
Emission of high energy gamma rays via the non-linear inverse Compton scattering process (ICS) in interactions of ultra-intense laser pulses with thin solid foils is studied using particle-in-cell simulations. It is shown that the angular…
Radio pulsar signals are significantly perturbed by their propagation through the ionized interstellar medium. In addition to the frequency-dependent pulse times of arrival due to dispersion, pulse shapes are also distorted and shifted,…
The understanding of pulsar radio emission demands a close look at all regions of the huge parameter space present for pulsar observations. In this review we concentrate on the space given by the range of observed pulse periods, spanning…
The period and the period derivative of a pulsar are critical magnitudes for defining the properties of the magnetospheric size and plasma dynamics. The pulsar light cylinder, the magnetic field intensity nearby it, and the curvature radius…
Interstellar scattering causes pulsar profiles to grow asymmetrically, thus affecting the pulsar timing residuals, and is strongest at lower frequencies. Different Interstellar medium models predict different frequency ($\nu$) and…
I review the basic observational properties of accreting millisecond pulsars that are important for understanding the physics involved in formation of their pulse profiles. I then discuss main effects responsible for shaping these profiles.…
Weak interstellar scintillations of pulsar B0809+74 were observed at two epochs using a 30m EISCAT antenna at 933 MHz. These have been used to constrain the spectrum, the distribution and the transverse velocity of the scattering plasma…
A new method for determining the accelerating potential above the polar caps of radio pulsars with an arbitrary inclination angle of the magnetic axis to the rotation axis has been proposed. The approach has been based on the concept of a…
Pulsars are stars that emit electromagnetic radiation in well-defined time intervals. The frequency of such pulses decays with time as is quantified by the {\it braking index} ($n$). In the canonical model $n = 3$ for all pulsars, but…
