Our observations were made using the Urumqi 25-m radio telescope at a radio frequency of 1.54 GHz. A total of 353 strong pulses were detected during eight hours of observing, The signal-to-noise ratios of the detected pulses range from 5 to 11.5. The peak fluxes of those pulses are 17 to 39 times that of the average pulse peak. The cumulative distribution of the signal-to-noise ratios of these strong pulses has a rough power-law distribution with a slope of 4.4 q- 0.5. Ten of the strong pulses arrived approximately 23 to 40 ms earlier than the average profile peak. This suggests the possibility that there are two strong pulse-emitting regions.展开更多

This paper implements a method to recover the pulse profiles and PPA curves of five pulsars which have obvious scattered pulse pro- files at lower frequency. It reports a simulation to show the scattering and descatter- ing of pulse profiles and PPA curves, and as a practical application the lower frequency profiles and PPA curves of PSR 1356-60, PSR 1831-03, PSR 1838＋04, PSR 1859＋03 and PSR 1946＋35 are obtained. It is found that the original pulse profiles and PPA curves can be recovered.展开更多
