Abstract
MEASUREMENT of optical polarization has of course been limited to NP 0532. The optical radiation in both the main pulse and the interpulse, averaged over many pulses, is weakly linearly polarized (∼15 per cent) with a position angle which rotates in a manner akin to that in PSR 0833–45 (refs. 1 and 2). The polarization properties, as well as the total intensity and pulse shape, seem to be time-dependent, however3. Circular polarization is absent.
