| Abstract: |
Gil & Sendyk (2000) introduced a natural “complexity parameter” defined as the ratio of a gap height to the size of the polar cap and argued that this quantity should describe the complexity of pulsar profiles. Indeed, they showed that in 182 pulsars with known profile classification as of the year 2000, the complexity parameter was correlated with profile morphology, with core single profiles having the highest values of this parameter, followed by triple profiles and then multiple and conal single and conal double profiles. Here we present a grand update of these results, by adding 141 profiles of the pulsars whose profiles and classification information were published after the year of 2000. The correlations found by Gil & Sendyk (2000) are still clearly present in the new enlarged database. |
