Proposal Title: Ultra­High Time Resolution Measurements of the Crab ''Giant'' Radio Pulses:
Phase 4 -- The High­Frequency Components
ABSTRACT:
The Crab Nebula pulsar emits occasional ''giant'' pulses which are often hundreds of times more energetic than the
average pulse. These pulses occur predominantly at the pulse phase of the average main pulse at low frequencies
and predominantly at the pulse phase of the high­frequency interpulse above 7 GHz. Our ultra­high time resolution
studies have shown that the temporal and frequency structure of the main and interpulse are dramatically di#erent.
During our previous studies of the main and interpulse (P1735 and P2050) we have noticed that when the pulsar is
particularly strong, we can see individual pulses at the phases of the two high­frequency components of the average
profile, which occur at pulse phases following the interpulse. We propose to capture single ''giant'' pulses from the
phases of the two high­frequency components in order to ascertain if their emission environment and origin are the
same as either the main pulse or interpulse.
