Abstract:

V Single pulses provide valuable information about the pulsar magnetosphere, giving more spatial and time resolution than the integrated pulse profiles. Clearly, there are several different types of single pulse emission, however it is still unknown what is the nature or even strict definition of each type. This work aims to shed some light on different kinds of single pulses, making an attempt to constrain some emission theories and trace the possible connection between different types.
