Pulsars are rotating neutron stars that have an emission of electromagnetic radiations which is continuous but beamed. Therefore, an observer sees a pulse of radiation when the beam sweeps across his line-of-sight. Averaging over many pulses, a pulse profile specific for the observed pulsar is obtained. Here we propose the use of a recurrence plot for showing it. This plot can highlight specific behaviours in pulse profiles.

Abstract
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars that have an emission of electromagnetic radiations which is continuous but beamed. Therefore, an observer sees a pulse of radiation when the beam sweeps across his line-of-sight. Averaging over many pulses, a pulse profile specific for the observed pulsar is obtained. Here we propose the use of a recurrence plot for showing it. This plot can highlight specific behaviours in pulse profiles.Pubblicazioni consigliate
