The complex polarization angles of radio pulsars: orthogonal jumps and interstellar scattering

Despite some success in explaining the observed polarization angle swing of radio pulsars within the geometric rotating vector model, many deviations from the expected S-like swing are observed. In this Letter, we provide a simple and credible explanation of these variations based on a combination o...
