摘要:

传统的脉冲星射电辐射图像只能从表面上捕捉到脉冲星群体的射电偏振特性。我们研究了271个年轻射电望远镜的宽带偏振,特别是圆偏振,使用高质量的观测与Murriyang,Parkes射电望远镜上的超宽带低接收器。我们试图封装偏振行为的人口规模定义广泛的类别频率和相位相关的偏振演化,研究这些分类的共同出现,并将它们与平均偏振测量和自旋下降能量($\dot{E}$)。这项工作表明,从旋转矢量模型(RVM)的线性偏振位置角(PA)的偏差是链接到圆偏振功能的存在和频率的偏振演化。极化分数、圆极化贡献和轮廓复杂度都随着$\dot{E}$在整个群体中的变化而变化,其中高$\dot{E}$的轮廓是简单的和高度线性极化的。极化分数和圆形贡献之间的关系也被认为是演变,使得高度极化的配置文件显示较少的变化,圆形贡献与频率比不太强烈的极化配置文件。这种演变在整个人群和各个来源的频率上都可以看到。了解脉冲星射电极化需要详细研究单个来源和集体了解人口水平的趋势。对于前者,我们提供了他们的相位和频率分辨偏振参数的可视化。对于后者,我们强调了包括圆偏振和$\dot{E}$的影响的重要性。

英文摘要:

The radio polarization properties of the pulsar population are only superficially captured by the conventional picture of pulsar radio emission. We study the broadband polarization of 271 young radio pulsars, focusing particularly on circular polarization, using high quality observations made with the Ultra-Wideband Low receiver on Murriyang, the Parkes radio telescope. We seek to encapsulate polarization behaviour on a population scale by defining broad categories for frequency- and phase-dependent polarization evolution, studying the co-occurrences of these categorizations and comparing them with average polarization measurements and spin-down energy ($\dot{E}$). This work shows that deviations of the linear polarization position angle (PA) from the rotating vector model (RVM) are linked to the presence of circular polarization features and to frequency evolution of the polarization. Polarization fraction, circular polarization contribution and profile complexity all evolve with $\dot{E}$ across the population, with the profiles of high-$\dot{E}$ pulsars being simple and highly linearly polarized. The relationship between polarization fraction and circular contribution is also seen to evolve such that highly polarized profiles show less variation in circular contribution with frequency than less strongly polarized profiles. This evolution is seen both across the population and across frequency for individual sources. Understanding pulsar radio polarization requires detailed study of individual sources and collective understanding of population-level trends. For the former, we provide visualizations of their phase- and frequency-resolved polarization parameters. For the latter, we have highlighted the importance of including the impact of circular polarization and of $\dot{E}$.
