X-ray and Gamma-ray Emission from Pulsar Magnetospheres
For polar-cap models based on electromagnetic cascades induced by curvature radiation of beam particles we calculate broad-band high-energy spectra of pulsed emission expected for classical (∼ 10 G) and millisecond pulsars (∼ 10 G). The spectra are a superposition of curvature and synchrotron radiation components and most of their detailed features depend significantly on the magnetic field str...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration and Cosmic-Ray Origin in the Galaxy
In 1990’s Very High Energy Gamma-ray Astrophysics has dramatically advanced due to the Imaging Air Čerenkov Telescopes(IACTs). After the first detection of TeV gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula in 1989, several type of TeV gamma-ray sources, Active Galactic Nuclei(AGN), young pulsar, and SuperNova Remnant(SNR), have been detected. In those discoveries, recent detections of both synchrotro...
متن کاملLooking into Pulsar Magnetospheres
Diffractive and refractive magnetospheric scintillations may allow a direct testing of the plasma inside the light cylinder. Unusual electrodynamics of the strongly magnetized electron-positron plasma allow separation of the magnetospheric and interstellar scattering. The most distinctive feature of the magnetospheric scintillations is their independence on frequency. Diffractive scattering due...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration in Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Plerionic supernova remnants exhibit radio emission with remarkably flat spectral indices ranging from α = 0.0 to α = −0.3. The origin of very hard particle energy distributions still awaits an explanation, since shock waves generate particle distributions with synchrotron spectra characterized by α ≤ −0.5. Acceleration of high energy leptons in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence instead may be res...
متن کاملElectrodynamics of pulsar magnetospheres
I review the theoretical understanding of the global structure of pulsar magnetospheres concentrating on recent progress in force-free electrodynamics and first-principles simulations of magnetospheres.
