I The linear polarization and brightness of pulsars

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the correlation between the linear polarization and brightness of pulsars, suggesting a positive relationship. Participants inquire about existing research or papers that explore this correlation in detail. The need for statistical analysis in understanding pulsar characteristics is emphasized. There is an interest in how this correlation could impact the study of pulsar emissions. Overall, the conversation seeks to identify relevant literature on the topic.

I guess that, from a statistical perspective, the linear polarization of pulsars is positively correlated with their brightness. Has there been any relevant paper discussing this issue?
 

Thread 'Project Progress Report and possible Radio Astronomy Technique?'

Some 8 years ago I posted some experiments using 2 Software Defined Radios slaved to a common clock. The idea was measure small thermal noise by making correlation measurements between the IQ samples from each radio. This is a project that has kinda smoldered in the background where I've made progress in fits and starts. Since most (all?) RA signals are small thermal signals it seemed like the technique should be a natural approach. A recent thread discussing the feasibility of using SDRs to...
