Coherent Mechanisms of Pulsar Radio Emission
Relativistic plasma masers operating on the anomalous cyclotronCherenkov resonance ω − k‖v‖ + ωB/ γres = 0 and the Cherenkov-drift resonance ω − k‖v‖ − kxud = 0, are capable of explaining the main observational characteristics of pulsar radio emission. Both electromagnetic instabilities are due to the interaction of the fast particles from the primary beam and from the tail of the secondary pai...
متن کاملUnraveling the nature of coherent pulsar radio emission
Forty years have passed since the discovery of pulsars, yet the physical mechanism of their coherent radio emission is a mystery. Recent observational and theoretical studies strongly suggest that the radiation outcoming from the pulsar magnetosphere consists mainly of extraordinary waves polarized perpendicular to the planes of pulsar dipolar magnetic field. However, the fundamental question w...
متن کاملPulsar spectra of radio emission
We have collected pulsar flux density observations and compiled spectra of 281 objects. The database of Lorimer et al. (1995) has been extended to frequencies higher than 1.4 GHz and lower than 300 MHz. Our results show that above 100 MHz the spectra of the majority of pulsars can be described by a simple power law with average value of spectral index < α >= −1.8 ± 0.2. A rigorous analysis of s...
متن کاملDepolarization of Pulsar Radio Emission.
We show that intensity-dependent depolarization of single pulses may be due to the nonlinear decay of the "upper" ordinary (O) mode into an unpolarized extraordinary mode and a backward-propagating wave. The decay occurs in the innermost parts of the pulsar magnetosphere for obliquely propagating O waves.
متن کاملNature of microstructure in pulsar radio emission
We present a model for microstructure in pulsar radio emission. We propose that micropulses result from the alteration of the radio wave generation region by nearly transverse drift waves propagating across the pulsar magnetic field and encircling the bundle of the open magnetic field lines. It is demonstrated that such waves can modify significantly curvature of these dipolar field lines. This...
