| Abstract: |
Use of single-pulse methods has identified what seems to be core emission in pulsars B0525+21, B0301+19 and B1133+16. Such core
emission has been suspected in several “classical” conal double pulsars; however earlier analysis methods had restricted our ability to look
further into this possibility. While average profiles of pulsars inform about the typical behaviors of these stars, single-pulse observations shed
light on the atypical behaviors and weak features of a pulsar's emission. Emission in the “intrapulse region” is not detectable in the average
profiles but becomes clear in low-intensity and single-pulse observations. Through a process of suppressing the outer conal emission and
averaging single pulses that exhibit peaks in a central search region, reliable partial profiles of these putative core features have been
obtained. In each case the widths of the central features squared well with the expected polar cap geometry, further strengthening their identification with core emission components. |
