Pulsar observations using the POLFAR stations

Abstract

In this paper we present the current status of the pulsar observations conduct by Polish LOFAR stations. In particular we show that the single LOFAR station can provide observations that are of sufficient quality to provide useful scientific data. These can help us to better understand some of the phenomena related to the pulsar emission and the influence of the interstellar matter. In this paper we focus on the mode switching phenomenon and a single pulses analysis conducted for pulsar B0329+54. We find that the same spectral features are visible in both emission modes, so we conclude that the polar cap emission mechanism is the same in separated modes.
