چکیده
Context{The high energy emission regions of rotation powered pulsars are studied using folded light curve (FLCs) and phase resolved spectra (PRS).} aims{This work uses the NICER observatory to obtain highest resolution FLC PRS Crab pulsar at soft X-ray energies.} methods{NICER has accumulated about 347 ksec data on pulsar. The processed standard analysis pipeline. Stringent filtering is done for spectral analysis. individual detectors calibrated in terms long time (LTLC), raw spectrum deadtime. arrival times photons referred solar system's barycenter frequency $\nu$ its derivative $\dot \nu$ used derive each photon.} results{The LTLCs, deadtimes statistically similar; latter two show no evolution with epoch; detector deadtime independent photon energy. pulsar, taking into account types deadtime, only approx 7% 8% larger than that obtained cleaned events. Detector 00 behaves slightly differently from rest, but can be work. peaks a better 1/512 phase. very close first peak rises slowly falls faster. index almost constant peak.} conclusions{The {{peaks}} provide important constraints formation caustics zone.}

High speed phase-resolved 2-d UBV photometry of the Crab pulsar
We report a phase-resolved photometric and morphological analysis of UBV data of the Crab pulsar obtained with the 2-d TRIFFID high speed optical photometer mounted on the Russian 6m telescope. By being able to accurately isolate the pulsar from the nebular background at an unprecedented temporal resolution (1 μs), the various light curve components were accurately fluxed via phase-resolved pho...
متن کامل3 Chandra Phase - Resolved X - ray Spectroscopy of the Crab Pulsar
We present the first phase-resolved study of the X-ray spectral properties of the Crab Pulsar that covers all pulse phases. The superb angular resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory enables distinguishing the pulsar from the surrounding nebulosity, even at pulse minimum. Analysis of the pulse-averaged spectrum measures interstellar X-ray extinction due primarily to photoelectric absorption...
متن کاملHigh-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 کاملUnpulsed Optical Emission from the Crab Pulsar
Using the high speed 2-d TRIFFID photometer, we have obtained phase resolved photometry of the Crab pulsar in UBV that allows us to flux the unpulsed light curve component. Following de-extinction, weighted least-square fitting indicates a power-law exponent of α = -0.62 ± 0.49. This is steeper than that reported for the peak components and its origin remains unclear with respect to contemporar...
متن کاملGiant Radio Pulses from the Crab Pulsar
Individual giant radio pulses (GRPs) from the Crab pulsar last only a few microseconds. However, during that time they rank among the brightest objects in the radio sky reaching peak flux densities of up to 1500 Jy even at high radio frequencies. Our observations show that GRPs can be found in all phases of ordinary radio emission including the two high frequency components (HFCs) visible only ...
