Based on sensitive L-band (1.0 to 1.5 GHz) observations of pulsars using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we analyzed single-pulse sequences from FAST-detected pulsars and identified nulling, mode changing, or subpulse modulation phenomena in 374 sources. Among these, nulling has been detected in 160 pulsars, with 127 cases reported for the first time. Emission mode changes have been observed in 52 pulsars, including 51 first-time detections. Subpulse modulation has been identified in 272 pulsars, 180 of which are newly revealed, with the majority displaying subpulse drifting behavior. Subpulse drifting in some pulsars exhibits distinct modes with varying drift properties, leading to mode changes and divergent mean profiles. Statistics on pulsar parameters show that pulsars exhibiting nulling and/or subpulse modulation tend to be older, with longer periods and lower spin-down energy-loss rates. The modulation period P3 is predominantly correlated with pulsar rotation periods, magnetic field strengths, and spin-down energy loss.
A new model for nulling and moding in radio pulsars
射电望远镜的单脉冲行为通常用射电波束的ExB漂移来解释。结果表明,射电亮区的反对称排列可以产生几种观测到的单脉冲现象:子脉冲调制相位的半周跳变、左-右-中间子脉冲序列以及核心主导和锥主导脉动模式之间的切换。几何体也可以产生零化,包括零星的和多模态的。该模型意味着,无线电安静间隔,分离主脉冲和脉冲间PSR B 0826 -34对应于无线电波束的方位角休息,而不是余纬度休息。

The Three Discrete Nulling Timescales of PSR J1717-4054
PSR J1717-4054是在中间(~小时)时间尺度上无效的小类雷达之一。这类双极星代表了经典零化星和间歇性双极星之间的重要联系,前者的发射在几个旋转周期内消失,后者则会持续数月甚至数年。利用Parkes射电望远镜和澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵,我们研究了PSR J1717-4054在单脉冲到数年的时间间隔内的发射。我们已经确定和特点零在三个离散的时间尺度:脉冲星发射在“活动状态”期间由零持续数千次旋转,而活动状态本身被中断的零与双峰分布的持续时间;一到两个旋转,或数十次旋转。我们没有检测到子脉冲结构或通量密度变化在活跃状态,我们把严格的限制(<0.1%的平均活跃通量密度)的脉冲发射在非活跃状态。最后,我们的高质量数据还使我们能够首次测量PSR J1717-4054的许多重要特性,包括它的位置,自旋下降率,光谱,偏振特性和脉冲展宽在星际介质中。

Non-dipolar magnetic field at the polar cap of neutron stars and the physics of pulsar radiation
尽管人们已经观察了近半个世纪,但许多问题仍然没有答案。本文利用X射线观测资料分析射电星的极冠区。热点的大小意味着恒星表面上方的磁场配置与纯粹的偶极配置有很大的不同。我们可以估计表面磁场的数量级为$10^{14}\,{\rm G}$。另一方面,热点的温度大约是几百万开尔文。基于这两个事实,部分屏蔽间隙(PSG)模型被提出来描述内加速区(IAR)。PSG模型假设实际极帽的温度等于所谓的临界值,即从表面流出的热离子完全屏蔽间隙的温度。我们发现,根据极冠上方的条件,高能量光子的产生在IAR可以引起的曲率辐射(CR)或逆康普顿散射(ICS)。这导致了两种不同的打破加速度间隙的场景:用于CR主导间隙的所谓PSG关闭模式和PSG开启模式ICS主导间隙。两种不同的间隙击穿机制的存在自然地解释了模式改变和脉冲零化。此外,IAR的模式变化可以解释PSR B 0943 +10的最近观测中无线电和X射线发射的反相关性(Hermsen等人,2013年)的报告。同时分析的X射线和无线电特性允许开发一个模型,解释漂移的子脉冲现象。根据这个模型,漂移发生在IAR中的电荷密度不同于Goldreich-Julian共旋密度时。所提出的模型允许验证无线电漂移参数和X射线效率的观察到的恒星。
