    • Circular polarization of synchrotron radiation in high magnetic fields 

      de Burca, Diarmaid; Shearer, Andrew (Oxford University Press, 2015-04-17)
      The general model for incoherent synchrotron radiation has long been known, with the first theory being published by Westfold in 1959 and continued by Westfold and Legg in 1968. When this model was first developed, it was ...

    • VLT polarimetry observations of the middle-aged pulsar PSR B0656+14 

      Moran, Paul; Shearer, Andrew (EDP Sciences, 2015-11-02)
      Context. Optical polarisation measurements are key tests for different models of the pulsar magnetosphere. Furthermore, comparing the relative orientation of the phase-averaged linear polarisation direction and the pulsar ...
