The Rest of the Story: Radio Pulsars and IR through γ-ray Emission
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent observations have detected a number of young pulsars from the power peak in the γ-ray band to the incoherent photon peak in the optical/IR. We have made progress on the multiwavelength phenomenology of pulsar emission and beaming, but a wide variation of light curves between different objects and different energy bands makes the full story complex. I sketch here a ‘Unified Model’ of pulsar beaming and summarize the radiation mechanisms and their interplay in outer magnetosphere models of pulsar high energy emission.

γ-Ray Pulsars: Emission Zones and Viewing Geometries
There are now a half dozen young pulsars detected in high energy photons by the Compton GRO, showing a variety of emission efficiencies and pulse profiles. We present here a calculation of the pattern of high energy emission on the sky in a model which posits γ-ray production by charge depleted gaps in the outer magnetosphere. This model accounts for the radio to γ-ray pulse offsets of the know...
متن کاملGamma-ray Emission Properties from Mature Pulsars in the Galaxy and in the Gould Belt
We study the γ-ray emission properties of pulsars by using a new selfconsistent outer gap model. The outer gap can exist in pulsars with age over million years old if the effect of magnetic inclination angle as well as the average properties of the outer gap are considered. The mature γ-ray pulsars, whose ages are between 0.3 to 3 million years old, are able to move up to high galactic latitude...
متن کاملWhich unidentified EGRET sources are gamma-ray pulsars?
We consider high energy γ-ray radiation from the radio pulsars associated with some unidentified EGRET γ-ray sources. Calculated efficiencies for the conversion of spin-down power to γ-rays and the energy spectra of the high energy γ-rays from these possible γ-ray pulsars in outer gap models are compared with observed results. Of these possible γ-ray pulsars, our results indicate that (i) PSR B...
متن کاملThe inner annular Gap for pulsar radiation: γ-ray and radio emission
The inner annular gap (IAG), a new type of inner gap whose magnetic field lines intersect the null charge surface (NCS), is proposed to explain γ-ray and radio emission from pulsars. The IAG can be an important source for highenergy particles. The particles can radiate between the NCS and the IAG. Some observational characteristics in both γ-ray and radio bands, such as the γ-ray emission beams...
متن کاملRadio and Γ-ray Emissions from Pulsars: Possible Observational Tests
Many models for the pulsar radio and γ-ray emissions have been developed. The tests for these models using observational data are very important. Tests for the pulsar radio emission models using frequencyaltitude relation are presented in this paper. In the radio band, the mean pulse profiles evolve with observing frequencies. There are various styles of pulsar profile frequency evolutions (whi...
