Absolute emission height determination of the radio emission components of PSR B2111+46 at multiple bands by relativistic phase shift method

Pulsars are believed to be one of the most important celestial objects in the universe. The emission mechanism of pulsars is still a big paradox for physicists, as no completely acceptable theory can reach a suitable consensus with observation. Some complicated coherent plasma processes and acceleration-based mechanisms in the pulsar magnetosphere generate a powerful radio beam. There have been dedicated theories such as the geometrical and relativistic phase shift (RPS) methods. The relativistic phase shift method is owing to the combined effects of aberration-retardation (A/R) and polar cap current effect (PCC), etc., and by implementing this method, we make quantitative inspections to deduce the emission altitude of the pulsar’s radio emission components. Here, we have shown the estimation of the emission height of pulsar PSR B2111+46 for both core and conal components at 925 MHz, 1.25 GHz, 1.65 GHz, and 4.85 GHz. Moreover, we have estimated the foot point, normalized with the last open field line constant, corresponding to pulse edges at multiple bands. Current analysis of the paper shows that at least for PSR B2111+46, the full polar cap is not sensitive to radio emission for most of the cases in the given stretch of radio frequency.
