Structure of Pulsar Radio Emission Via Interstellar Optics

Gwinn，Carl AST-9731584 Gwinn博士将使用无线电波散射作为工具来了解来自恒星的无线电发射的结构。他将继续分析船帆座脉冲星的观测结果，并调查其他可能成为目标的恒星。他还将扩展理论工作，以了解源结构对闪烁的影响，并对磁层折射进行简单建模，以与观测结果进行比较。他还将分析船帆座脉冲星现有的和新的偏振观测，以测试磁层折射是否产生了观测到的结构。

Gwinn, Carl AST-9731584 Dr. Gwinn will use radio-wave scattering as a tool to learn about the structure of radio emission from pulsars. He will continue an analysis of observations of the Vela pulsar, and investigate other pulsars that are potential targets. He will also extend theoretical work to understand the effects of source structure on scintillation and perform simple modeling of magnetospheric refraction to compare with observations. He will also analyze existing and new polarimetric observations of the Vela pulsar to test whether magnetospheric refraction produces the observed structure.
