Joint Australia-USSR-USA Symposium on Pulsars and Supernova Remnants, Sydney, Australia, April 1978, Proceedings
Abstract
These papers deal with observational and theoretical studies of pulsars and supernova remnants (SNRs). Topics include the galactic distribution of pulsars, characteristics of microstructure in pulsar signals, pulsar energy spectra and pulse shapes at meter wavelengths, the current status of observations of the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16, and a comprehensive binary-star model for Circinus X-1. Other contributions discuss reabsorption of curvature radiation as a pulsar radio emission mechanism, properties of the natural wave modes of a pulsar magnetosphere, laboratory modeling of neutron-star magnetospheres, the dependence of shell-SNR radio surface brightness on distance from the galactic plane, and a catalog of 125 galactic SNRs. Secular decreases in 927-MHz radio emission from the Cas A and Tau A SNRs are also examined, along with the evolution of radio emission from young SNRs, the detailed structure of the Crab Nebula at wavelengths of 3.5 mm to 75 cm, H-alpha interferometry of fast filaments and high-velocity gas in two galactic SNRs, and optical observations of SNRs in the Magellanic Clouds.
