A Search for Radio Halos Around Pulsars
Abstract
Observations of regions around 24 pulsars at 11, 21, and 40 cm are presented. Very extended sources have been observed close to the nearby pulsars 1642-03 and 1706-16. Double source structure with the pulsar on the line of separation has been found around four pulsars. The proper motions of pulsars 0823 + 26, 0834 + 06, 1133 + 16, and 2016 + 28 seem to be consistent with their possible association with the nearby continuum sources. The possibility that some of these sources may be radio halos or ghost remnants associated with the pulsars is discussed.
