主　　题：Pulsar Polarization Attitude determination Stable factor 

摘      要：One of the important characteristics of pulsar radiation is *** is considered not only as a probe for recognizing the structure of a magnetic field,but also as a lighthouse for estimating spacecraft attitude via orientation information between the pulsar and the *** polarization of a pulsar has been studied for decades,until recently applications to determination of spacecraft attitude have been seldom *** paper deals with analysis of the feasibility of applying polarization information to attitude *** stability factor(SFR) and observation fluctuation factor(OFR) are introduced to analyze the stability of a pulsar s polarized position *** on European Pulsar Network(EPN) data,several simulated instances are used to demonstrate that the accuracy requirement of attitude determination can be met via polarization *** SFR of a pulsar is evaluated using simulated polarization data,and the OFR is used to analyze the relationship between fluctuation extent and observation *** results show that the polarized measurement of candidate pulsars PSR B0470-28 and PSR B2319+60 reaches the specification for attitude determination.
