Description

For comprehensive studying of giant pulses (GPs) from the Crab pulsar and the original millisecond pulsar (MSP) B1937+21 (J1939+2134), we conducted multifrequency observations over the last few years. They show that giant pulses may be improbably bright, 10^5, 10^6 Jy and more, they have extra ordinal spectra and polarization. EM energy concentrated in such strong pulse is high enough to accelerate particles up to Lorenz factor gamma ~ 10^4 - 10^6, since giant pulses may play an important role in physics of pulsar's magnetosphere.
