Correlation of Subpulse Structure in a Sequence of Pulses from Pulsar PSR 1919+21

Nature volume 227, pages 692–695 (1970)Cite this article

Abstract

The fluctuation power spectrum of a sequence of momentary pulse energies formed using an integration gate narrower than the pulse width displays features not visible with a wider gate. The analysis indicates that the class two period is a function of phase within the pulse profile. The statistical constitution of the mean pulse is discussed.
