Intensity and Velocity Variations
The displacement (intensity) variations are described as:
Where are spherical coordinates aligned to the magnetic axis of the star
The velocity variations are described as:
=∂ l ,0 ,
∂sint t
= l , o ,cos t t− o

Intensity Variations in WDs
l = 2, m = 0 l = 1, m = 0

Polarization Geometry
Displacements and velocitiesare aligned to magnetic pole
Induced electric field (Eϕ)
due to Eϕ = v x B(0)
is orthogonal to Eθ
Result: two orthogonal electricfields

PSR 0943+10: Dual FrequenciesTwo possibilities for a split subpulse frequency:1. Two closely spaced independent frequencies2. Combined frequency and amplitude or phase
modulation of a single frequency

PSR B0943+10Pulsational and geometrical parameters are largely independent

Conclusions and Future Work
Developed a physical model for pulsar morphology based on asteroseismological principles
Conducted quantitative fitting of model to data
Next step: fit more complex pulsar behavior, acquire data for definitive tests
Subpulse phase correlation between both magnetic poles
Subpulse frequency independent of observational radio frequency
