Thesis
Understanding radio pulsars using modern broad-band instruments
- Abstract:
-
The canonical model of a pulsar is insufficient to describe the variety and variability of its radio emission. Pulsars are neutron stars, with intense gravitational and magnetic fields, which emit bright beams of radio waves that co-rotate with the spinning star. The regularity of pulsar rotation, and hence the arrival times of pulses of radio emission, means that pulsars are used as clocks in space to test fundamental theories of physics and to search for gravitational waves. However, the...
