Abstract
The radio radiation mechanism is one of the open questions for pulsars. Multiband observations are very helpful to constrain pulsar radiation models. We observed PSR J1848-0123 at the 5 GHz band with the Shanghai Tianma 65 m radio telescope (TMRT). The 5 GHz observation together with the European Pulsar Network (EPN) and CSIRO ATNF Data Archives databases provides a broadband evolution property of the pulse profiles for this pulsar. We reprocessed these data sets to obtain the multiband pulse profiles. It was found that the pulse profile of PSR J1848-0123 narrows with increasing emission frequency. We separated the emission components of each pulse profile with a multi-Gaussian fitting method, and then calculated the beaming angle and emission radius of each component with the basic radiation geometry of pulsar. With the calculated beam angles and radiation radii, we simulated the radius-frequency mapping of this pulsar with an inverse Compton scatting model (ICS). It was found that the observed radio radiation could be generated in the core gap region above the polar cap of the pulsar. The beaming angle and emission radius versus frequency for PSR J1848-0123 can be explained well with the ICS model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
