Brief description
Even with modern observing systems, the pulse emission mechanism from pulsars remains enigmatic. Pulse nulling (in which the pulse emission ceases) has been known since 1970 and yet we still do not know the timescale over which it occurs. To date, we see one pulse on and then next pulse off. However, if the emission switching time is random then we must sometimes observe partial pulses. Detecting such a pulse will enable us to determine the timescale at which this phenomena occurs. We therefore propose to observe two pulsars over a sufficiently long duration that will ensure that we observe such a nulling event.Data time period: 2019-10-01 to 2020-03-31
