Emission altitude in radio pulsars
This paper presents a method of estimation of emission altitudes using observational data-precise measurements of pulse profile widths at low intensity level. The analysis of emission altitudes obtained using this method for a large number of pulsars gives constraints that should be useful for theory of coherent pulsar emission. It seems that radio emission originates at altitudes of about few ...
متن کاملGravitation wave emission from radio pulsars revisited
We report a new pulsar population synthesis based on Monte Carlo techniques, aiming to estimate the contribution of galactic radio pulsars to the continuous gravitational wave emission. Assuming that the rotation periods of pulsars at birth have a Gaussian distribution, we find that the average initial period is 290 ms. The number of objects with periods equal to or less than 0.4 s, and therefo...
متن کاملOn the possibility of curvature radiation from radio pulsars
We consider the widespread hypothesis that coherent curvature radiation is responsible for the radio emission of pulsars. The comparison of energy conservation and the published data and luminosities explicitely proves that coherent curvature radiation cannot be the source for the radio emission of pulsars for frequencies below a few GHz. At higher frequencies coherent curvature radiation can b...
متن کاملPolar-cap accelerator and radio emission from pulsars
Electric currents j flow along the open magnetic field lines from the polar caps of neutron stars. Activity of a polar cap depends on the ratio α = j/cρGJ, where ρGJ is the corotation charge density. The customary assumption α ≈ 1 is not supported by recent simulations of pulsar magnetospheres and we study polar caps with arbitrary α. We argue that no significant activity is generated on field ...
متن کاملThe polar-cap accelerator and radio emission from pulsars
A key parameter of the polar-cap accelerator is a = j/cρGJ, where j is the electric current and ρGJ is the corotation charge density. The customary model assumed a = 1 ± ǫ and found ǫ ≪ 1, steady acceleration of particles, and e creation. The fine-tuning of a to 1 is not, however, favored by the magnetosphere, and the accelerator with |a − 1| > ǫ ∼ 10 is qualitatively different. For 0 < a < 1 −...
