IXPE data on magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 show high linear polarization from a small hot spot whose phase-dependent angle is fit by a rotating vector model, with a marginal energy-dependent dip in polarization degree that may indicate vacuum resonance but does not constitute compelling evidence for biref
Pulsar radio emission beams from the two poles are generally dissimilar in azimuth width and often radius, based on rotating vector model fits to polarization data from eight double-pole interpulse pulsars.
TeV-selected PWNe and unidentified sources yield beaming fractions of 0.1-0.3 across radio, gamma-ray, and X-ray bands, with survey-to-survey differences explained by selection biases or older pulsars and reproducible via time-dependent opening angles.

Constraining the Pulsar Beaming Fraction with TeV-Selected Galactic Pulsar Wind Nebulae and unidentified TeV Sources
TeV-selected PWNe and unidentified sources yield beaming fractions of 0.1-0.3 across radio, gamma-ray, and X-ray bands, with survey-to-survey differences explained by selection biases or older pulsars and reproducible via time-dependent opening angles.
