用Parkes超宽带接收机进行脉冲星偏振测量

Pulsar polarimetry with the Parkes Ultra-Wideband receiver

Lucy Oswald, Aris Karastergiou, Simon Johnston

摘要:

脉冲星的射电辐射及其偏振随频率的变化而变化。这种频率依赖性是发射机制和无线电波束结构的关键。利用帕克斯射电望远镜上的新超宽带接收器(UWL),我们首次能够观察脉冲星轮廓如何在700-4000 MHz的宽连续带宽上演变。我们在这里描述了一种技术,用于处理宽带偏振观测,以建立一个有意义的对齐和可视化的数据在整个频带。我们将其应用于PSR J1056-6258和J1359-6038的观测,这些观测是由于以前未解决的关于其发射频率演变的问题而选择的。我们的技术的应用表明,它是可能的,以调整的偏振位置角(PA)在一个很宽的频率范围内时,仅限于应用色散和法拉第旋转的校正这样做。然而,这并不对应于这两个源的对齐的强度分布。我们发现,它是可能的,这些失调转换成排放高度范围的估计是一致的出版和模拟值,这表明它们可以归因于磁层中的相对论效应。我们讨论了这项工作的无线电波束结构的背景下,准备更广泛的研究脉冲星发射宽带偏振数据。

英文摘要:

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.
