Our high time resolution observations of individual pulses from the Crab pulsar show that both and frequency signatures interpulse are distinctly different those main pulse. Main can occasionally be resolved into short-lived, relatively narrowband nanoshots. We believe these nanoshots produced by soliton collapse in strong plasma turbulence. Interpulses at centimeter wavelengths very different. Their dynamic spectrum contains regular, microsecond-long emission bands. have detected bands,...

We have monitored the radio flux density of 21 pulsars on a daily basis for five years. The 610 MHz time series these range from nearly constant most distant and heavily scattered to rapidly varying, saturated more nearby pulsars. measured stability (variations less than 5%) implies that average emission pulsars, before it has been affected by propagation through interstellar medium, is in strength timescales few hours several modulation index variations never exceeds 0.5, ruling out...

We review our high-time-resolution radio observations of the Crab pulsar and compare data to a variety models for emission physics. The Main Pulse Low Frequency Interpulse come from regions somewhere in high-altitude zones (caustics) that also produce pulsed X-ray ${\it\gamma}$ -ray emission. Although no model can fully explain these two components, most likely suggest they arise combination beam-driven instabilities, coherent charge bunching strong electromagnetic turbulence.
