Recovering the Pulse Profiles and Polarization Position Angles of Some Pulsars from Interstellar Scattering

Interstellar scattering causes broadening and distortion to the mean pulse profiles and polarization position angle (PPA) curves, especially to the pulse profiles observed at lower frequency. This paper has implemented a method to recover the pulse profiles and the PPA curves of five pulsars which have obvious scattered pulse profiles at lower frequency. It reports a simulation to show the scattering and descattering of pulse profiles and PPA curves. As a practical application, lower-frequency profiles and PPA curves of PSR 1356-60, PSR 1831-03, PSR 1838+04, PSR 1859+03, PSR 1946+35 are obtained. It is found that the original pulse profiles and PPA curves can be recovered.
