We construct and examine the pulsar luminosity function using the new list which includes data for 1328 radio pulsars. In this work, the luminosity function for 1400 MHz is constructed for the first time. We also present an improved luminosity function for 400 MHz. The luminosity functions at 400 and 1400 MHz are compared. Also, the luminosity functions excluding the binary millisecond pulsars and the pulsars with low magnetic fields are constructed. It is found that the new luminosity function is considerably flatter in the low luminosity part for 400 MHz. 1400 HMz luminosity values of radio pulsars together with upper limits of 1400 MHz luminosity for anomalous X-ray pulsars and dim radio quiet neutron stars are presented as a function of both characteristic age and magnetic field. The implications of the pulsar luminosity function for these new kinds of neutron star are discussed.

Distances and other parameters for 1328 radio pulsars GUSEINOV, OKTAY H; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; ÖZKAN, SAFİYE; SEZER, AYTAP; TAGIEVA, SEVİNÇ (2004-08-01) In this work we have collected observational data for 1328 radio pulsars (PSRs). Distances and others parameters for these PSRs were estimated. We present improved distance estimates for radio PSRs by considering the importance of their physical properties and improvement in the distribution of star formation regions in the Galaxy. For this purpose, a list of accurate calibrators was constructed and several natural criteria were established. The following values were calculated from observational data on PS...
A simplified MAP channel estimator for OFDM systems under Rayleigh fading ÇÜRÜK, SELVA; Tanık, Yalçın (2010-06-01) This paper presents a simplified Maximum A Posteriori (SMAP) channel estimator to be used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems under the Rayleigh fading assumption for the subchannels, using a parametric correlation model and assuming that the channel is frequency selective and slowly time varying. Expressions for the mean-square error (MSE) of estimations are derived to evaluate the performance of the estimator. The relation between the correlation of subchannels taps and error vari...
The Spectral and temporal properties of MAXI J1409-619 Dönmez, Çağatay Kerem; Baykal, Altan; Department of Physics (2019) In this thesis, spectral and timing analysis of the transient high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsar MAXI J1409-619 are presented. MAXI J1409-619 was discovered in October 2010, and went into an outburst in early December 2010 until February 2011. Observations of Swift and RXTE throughout this period are used in the thesis. The analysis results are in line with the assertion that MAXI J1409-619 is an accretion-powered pulsar. Time-resolved energy spectra of RXTE and Swift data confirm the previously reported ...
The scaled Hermite–Weber basis in the spectral and pseudospectral pictures Taşeli, Hasan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-10) Computational efficiencies of the discrete (pseudospectral, collocation) and continuous (spectral, Rayleigh-Ritz, Galerkin) variable representations of the scaled Hermite-Weber basis in finding the energy eigenvalues of Schrodinger operators with several potential functions have been compared. It is well known that the so-called differentiation matrices are neither skew-symmetric nor symmetric in a pseudospectral formulation of a differential equation, unlike their Rayleigh-Ritz counterparts. In spite of th...
The broad-band noise characteristics of selected cataclysmic variables (CVS), anomalous x-ray pulsars (AXPS) and soft gamma repeaters (SGRS) Külebi, Baybars; Balman, Şölen; Department of Physics (2006) In this work present the broad-band noise structure in the 2-60 keV data of Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) with Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs). We analyzed Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) PCA data and derived time series from 27 CVs, 4 AXPs and 1 SGR using the RXTE archive. In general, CVs of different types all show broad band noise which can be fitted with power laws, using exponentional cut-offs, and Lorentzians in a similar way to power spectral (noise) characteristics of...
