Title: Understanding pulsars and their plasma with radio waves
Speaker: Ryan Craft (Curtin University)
Abstract: Since the discovery of pulsars in 1967 the mechanism which generates their coherent radio emission has remained elusive. With recent developments driven by Force Free and Particle-In-Cell simulations of the pulsar plasma, simulations have been able to demonstrate from first principles the emergence of coherent radio emission from the magnetised plasma. Even with this great advancement, simulations have yet to reproduce the wide variety of unusual time and frequency dependent pulsar phenomena. This talk will give a broad overview of those phenomena from data I have collected from different radio instruments, and show you our strategy for testing the modern emission theory against state-of-the-art telescope data.
