A Resonant-Mode Model of Pulsar Radio Emission
Abstract
Description
It is argued that the polar gap and flux tube in the pulsar magnetosphere act as a resonant cavity/waveguide system which is excited by oscillations in the primary beam current and accelerating potential. The modes will be converted, probably scattered, to produce radio beams in the frequency range of those observed.
