High-Altitude Emission from Pulsar Slot Gaps: The Crab Pulsar
We present results of a 3D model of optical to γ-ray emission from the slot gap accelerator of a rotation-powered pulsar. Primary electrons accelerating to high-altitudes in the unscreened electric field of the slot gap reach radiationreaction limited Lorentz factors of ∼ 2× 10, while electron-positron pairs from lower-altitude cascades flow along field lines interior to the slot gap. The curva...
متن کاملPulsar acceleration by asymmetric emission of sterile neutrinos
A convincing explanation for the observed pulsar large peculiar velocities is still missing. We argue that any viable particle physics solution would most likely involve the resonant production of a non-interacting neutrino νs of mass mνs ∼ 20–50 keV. We propose a model where anisotropic magnetic field configurations strongly bias the resonant spin flavour precession of tau antineutrinos into ν...
متن کاملDiscovery of Extended Emission around the Pulsar B0355+54
PSR B0355+54 is one of the handful of pulsars that has been observed with both Chandra and XMM-Newton. The analysis of the archival data has revealed the pulsar and a ∼ 30 ′′ compact nebula surrounding it. XMM-Newton also has detected a trail which extends ∼6 ′ and similar to the compact nebula is also counter-aligned with the proper motion of the pulsar. The spectrum of both the pulsar and the...
متن کاملPulsar High-energy Emission from the Polar Cap and Slot Gap
Forty years after the discovery of rotation-powered pulsars, we still do not understand many aspects of their pulsed emission. In the last few years there have been some fundamental developments in acceleration and emission models. I will review both the basic physics of the models as well as the latest developments in understanding the high-energy emission of rotation-powered pulsars, with par...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration and Non-thermal Emission in Pulsar Outer Magnetospheric Gap
A two-dimensional electrodynamic model is used to study particle acceleration and non-thermal emission mechanisms in the pulsar magnetospheres. We solve distribution of the accelerating electric field with the emission process and the pair-creation process in meridional plane, which includes the rotational axis and the magnetic axis. By solving the evolutions of the Lorentz factor, and of the p...
