Theory of the polarization of pulsar radio radiation

Journal Article · · Astrophys. J., Lett., v. 204, no. 1, pp. L13-L15

;
The theory of quasi-transverse propagation of radio radiation in pulsar magnetospheres leads to a model in which the intrinsic pulsar emission is linearly polarized, and circular polarization is produced as an effect of the quasi-transverse propagation. Various other observed features of the polarization are likewise explained. (AIP)
