PSRSalsa and the bi-drifting pulsar B1839-04
Abstract
PSRSalsa is a versatile open-source pulsar data-analysis project designed to obtain a comprehensive picture of the radio properties of your pulsar of choice. Here its usefulness is demonstrated through the analysis of the radio pulsar B1839-04, thereby revealing the extremely rare phenomenon of ``bi-drifting'' where the drift direction of subpulses is systematically different in different pulse profile components.
