The inner annular Gap for pulsar radiation: γ-ray and radio emission
The inner annular gap (IAG), a new type of inner gap whose magnetic field lines intersect the null charge surface (NCS), is proposed to explain γ-ray and radio emission from pulsars. The IAG can be an important source for highenergy particles. The particles can radiate between the NCS and the IAG. Some observational characteristics in both γ-ray and radio bands, such as the γ-ray emission beams...
متن کاملAn Atlas for Interpreting Γ-ray Pulsar Light Curves
We have simulated a population of young spin-powered pulsars and computed the beaming pattern and light curves for the three main geometrical models: polar cap emission, two-pole caustic (“slot gap”) emission and outer magnetosphere emission. The light curve shapes depend sensitively on the magnetic inclination α and viewing angle ζ. We present the results as maps of observables such as peak mu...
متن کاملPulsar Wind Nebulae as High Energy γ−Ray Emitters
There is growing evidence that some variable high-energy γ−ray sources are associated with pulsar wind nebulae. We review the current status of X-ray and radio studies of the sources most likely to be significant emitters above 100 MeV. The assumption of the γ−radiation arising from synchrotron processes puts a lower limit on the magnetic field and suggests there may be significant doppler boos...
متن کاملVHE γ-ray emitting pulsar wind nebulae discovered by H.E.S.S
Recent advances in very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy have opened a new observational window on the physics of pulsars. The high sensitivity of current imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, and in particular of the H.E.S.S. array, has already led to the discovery of about a dozen VHE-emitting pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) and PWN candidates. These include the plerions in the composite ...
متن کاملPsr J2021+3651: a New Γ-ray Pulsar Candidate
The COS B high energy γ-ray source 2CG 075+00, also known as GeV J2020+3658 or 3EG J2021+3716, has avoided identification with a low energy counterpart for over twenty years. We present a likely identification with the discovery and subsequent timing of a young and energetic pulsar, PSR J2021+3651, with the Wideband Arecibo Pulsar Processor at the Arecibo Observatory. PSR J2021+3651 has a rotat...
