Energetic Radiation from Rapidly Spinning Pulsars. 1. Outer Magnetosphere Gaps. 2. Vela and Crab

TL;DR: In this paper , the spectral power index of the power-law component of a pulsar was found to be strongly correlated with the highest possible electric field strength in the polar gap, Epc, of the pulsar.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent treatment of pair production was proposed to solve the Boltzmann equations simultaneously in the magnetosphere of a rapidly rotating neutron star (NS).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a three-dimensional pulsar magnetosphere model to study the light curve and spectra of x-rays and gamma-rays from the Crab pulsar, where the vertical size of the outer gap is first determined by a self-consistent model in which the inner gap is limited by pair production from collisions of thermal photons produced by polar cap heating of backflow outer gap current and curvature photons emitted by gap accelerated charged particles.

TL;DR: In this article, the annular gap model was proposed for radio and γ-ray observations of PSR B1055-52, and it was shown that radiations come from the core region and annular region.
