Radio Polarimetry Results for Young Southern Pulsars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present radio polarimetry results for nine Southern pulsars. Six of the nine are young, with characteristic ages less than 100 kyr and high spin-down luminosities. All six show significant linear polarization, and we confirm a previously noticed trend in which the degree of linear polarization increases with spin-down luminosity. We have used the rotating vector model to fit the observed position angle data for PSR J1513–5908 (B1509–58). We find that a magnetic inclination angle α > 60° is excluded at the 3σ level in the fit, and that the geometry suggested by the morphology of an apparent bipolar X-ray outflow is marginally inconsistent with a recent model of the pulsar magnetosphere.
