J/A+AS/124/123 J/A+AS/124/123 Atlas of the Crab pulsar pulse profiles E Massaro M Feroci G Matt Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. Ser. 124 123 1997 1997A&AS..124..123M Atlases Pulsars atlases gamma rays: observations pulsars: individual (PSR 0531+21, Crab pulsar) X-rays: stars We present an atlas of X and {gamma}-ray pulse profiles of PSR 0531+21 (Crab pulsar) measured since 1967. This atlas, containing 250 profiles, is useful to study in detail the behaviour with time and energy of this important source and to test models of the emission geometrical pattern. The atlas database is also accessible from Mosaic. An analysis of the energy dependence and time changes of the Crab pulsar light curve (and in particular of the P2/P1 ratio), based on the atlas database, is presented.

Epstein and C. Ho eds.), Cambridge Univ. Press, p. 257 --- Note Note number=1 1: In the original paper the size of P1 bins is 1/2 of the other bins. Here the counts in P1 were binned two by two to have the same binning trough all the profile. 2: In the original paper the pulse profile has 199 bins instead of the 200 quoted in the text. No additional bin has been added in the profile of the atlas. 3: In the original paper the pulse profile has 65 bins instead of the 66 quoted in the text. An additional bin has been added in the profile of the atlas with a count rate equal to that of the off-pulse level. 4: This pulse profile is not included in the original paper but was computed by adding the four profiles from HX 08_1 to HX 08_4. 5: The precise epoch of each pulse profile is not explicitly specified in the paper 6: Sum of the pulse profiles HX 20_1, HX 27_1 and HX 28_1, reported in the quoted reference. 7: This pulse profile is not included in the original paper but was computed by adding the two profiles HG 19_1 and HG 19_2. 8: This pulse profile is not included in the original paper but was computed by adding the four profiles from HG 19_4 to HG 19_7. --- Patricia Bauer CDS 1997Apr25Enrico Massaro <massaro@astrm2.rm.astro.it> J_A+AS_124_123.xml
