| Summary: | Pulsars are unparalleled astrophysical tools, yet, after more than 50 years of research, we still do not fully understand the mechanism responsible for their radio emission. Through a series of systematic, simultaneous and wideband observations of three sporadically emitting pulsars, we have revealed the importance of low-frequency information when characterising the emission, and support the idea that the intermittent emission behaviour is likely due to the same physical mechanism operating on different time scales. |
