An investigation of the absolute circular polarization in radio pulsars

In most pulsars, the circularly polarized component, Stokes V, is weak in the average pulse profiles. By forming the average profile of |V| from single pulses we can distinguish between pulsars where V is weak in the individual pulses and those where large V of variable handedness is observed from o...
