Pulsar radio emission and its polarization are observed to evolve with frequency. This frequency dependence is key to the emission mechanism and the structure of the radio beam. With the new Ultra-Wideband receiver (UWL) on the Parkes radio telescope we are able, for the first time, to observe how pulsar profiles evolve over a broad continuous bandwidth of 700-4000 MHz. We describe here a technique for processing broadband polarimetric observations to establish a meaningful alignment and visualize the data across the band. We apply this to observations of PSRs J1056-6258 and J1359-6038, chosen due to previously unresolved questions about the frequency evolution of their emission. Application of our technique reveals that it is possible to align the polarization position angle (PA) across a broad frequency range when constrained to applying only corrections for dispersion and Faraday rotation to do so. However, this does not correspond to aligned intensity profiles for these two sources. We find that it is possible to convert these misalignments into emission height range estimates that are consistent with published and simulated values, suggesting that they can be attributed to relativistic effects in the magnetosphere. We discuss this work in the context of the radio beam structure and prepare the ground for a wider study of pulsar emission using broadband polarimetric data.

Circularly polarized radio emission from the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 20201124A
产生快速射电暴(FRB)辐射的机制还知之甚少。有针对性地监测重复FRB源提供了机会,以一次性突发不可能的方式充分表征发射特性。在这里,我们报告了FRB 20201124 A源的观测结果,澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者(ASKAP)和帕克斯64米射电望远镜(Murriyang)的超宽带低(UWL)接收器。该源在2021年4月初进入了一个发射明亮爆发的时期。我们已经探测到了16个来自这个源的爆发。ASKAP探测到的爆发之一是从重复FRB源观测到的最亮爆发,推断通量为$640\pm70$ μ ms。在Parkes UWL探测到的五个爆发中,没有一个显示出1.1- 4 GHz范围内的任何发射。所有的UWL爆发都是高度极化的,它们的法拉第旋转测量(RM)显示出明显的变化。我们得到了一个平均RM的$-614$ rad m $^{-2}$的FRB源的$16$ rad m $^{-2}$在UWL爆发的标准偏差。在其中一个UWL爆发中,我们看到了显著的圆偏振发射的证据,其分数范围为$47\pm1$ %。如此高的圆偏振度在重复FRB源的爆发中从未见过。我们还看到了在这个UWL重复突发脉冲轮廓中的线性偏振位置角的显著变化的证据。重复脉冲群发射的模型需要考虑脉冲群极化特性的多样性。
