Abstract
We present a large sample of high-precision, coherently-dedispersed polarization profiles of millisecond pulsars at frequencies between 410 MHz and 1414 MHz. These data include the first polarimetric observations for several of the pulsars, and the first low-frequency polarization profiles for others. Our observations support previous suggestions that the pulse shapes and polarimetry of MSPs are more complex than those of their slower relatives. An immediate conclusion is that polarimetry-based classification schemes proposed for young pulsars are of only limited use when applied to millisecond pulsars.
