Pulse to pulse flux density modulation from pulsars at 8.35 GHz

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Aims. To investigate the flux density modulation from pulsars and the existence of specific behaviour of modulation index versus frequency. Methods. Several pulsars have been observed with the Effelsberg radio telescope at 8.35 GHz. Their flux density time series have been corrected for interstellar scintillation effects. Results. We present the measurement of modulation indices for 8 pulsars. We confirm the presence of a critical frequency at ~1 GHz for these pulsars (including 3 new ones from this study). We derived intrinsic modulation indices for the resulting flux density time series. Our data analysis revealed strong single pulses detected from 5 pulsars.
