Raithel, Shannon,
Johnston & Kerr (2015) detected sporadic, bright, short-duration radio
pulses from PSR J0901-4624. These pulses are emitted simultaneously with
persistent, periodic emission that dominates the flux density when averaging
over many periods of the pulsar. - The left image shows the
integrated profile of PSR J0901-4624: total intensity in black,
circular polarization in blue, and linear polarization in red. The top
trace shows the position angle of the linear polarization with a
trace showing the best fit geometrical model. The right image shows
the profile of the very bright pulses. These bright pulses have power-law
statistics and show a lack of linear polarization in contrast to the
integrated profile. We surmise that this pulsar shows two distinct radio
emission modes operating simultaneously in the magnetosphere.
