Description
Pulsed γ rays from the Vela pulsar PSR0833-45 are reported for the first time at the medium energies, E, of 0.3-30 MeV. They were observed with the double scatter γ-ray telescope 31 days after a large glitch in the pulsar period. The first and second pulses were detected from single scatters in the top scintillators, S1, at energies > 0.3 MeV, and by double scatters from all detector cell pairs at energies of 1-30 MeV. The phase separation of the two pulses is 0.43 +- 0.02 at the same absolute phases previously found by SAS 2 and COS B for E > 35 MeV. The energy distribution with six points from 0.3 to 30 MeV appears to bend away from the COS B power law at the lower energies and is well below the HEAO 1 upper limits. (author)
