Pulsars

Average polar cap map of emission of PSR B0943+10 using a 125 pulse sequence and the cartographic transformation procedure described in Deshpande & Rankin 2001. These observations were made using the Gauribidanur Telescope at 35 MHz. Twenty sub-beams can be discerned in this map which highlights the power of low-frequency observations in allowing us to greatly improve our understanding of pulsar emission physics and the geometry of pulsar magnetospheres.

More information on LOFAR Pulsar work will follow soon.
