Polarization properties of two pulsars R. N. Manchester (ATNF, CSIRO, Australia) . ... Abstract Mean pulse polarization properties at 1.4, 4.6 and 8.3 GHz and rotation measures are presented for two pulsars with unusually wide profiles. PSR J0437-4715 is a millisecond pulsar with significant emission over at least 80% of the pulse period. It shows a complicated variation of linear position angle across the pulse indicating substantial departures from a dipole field structure. ...
