Physical processes in pulsar magnetospheres and non-thermal high-frequency emission
Abstract
Description
The energy source of a pulsar's non-thermal emission is the rotational energy loss of the neutron star. The rotational energy of the neutron star is transformed into the pulsar radiation by a long sequence of processes. The processes of this sequence are discussed.
