To date there have been few polarimetric observations of millisecond pulsars, mainly due to the instrumental challenge of simultaneous high time resolution and large bandwidth. Such observations provide our most direct clues to the structure of the magnetic fields around pulsars, and are especially important in the case of millisecond pulsars, where radio emission necessarily originates very close to the neutron star surface.

We have observed the bright millisecond pulsar J0437–4715 at the Parkes Radiotelescope with the Caltech Fast Pulsar Timing Machine, at several radio frequencies and in full polarimetric mode. Our analyses show significant deviations from the standard dipole field geometry.
