نویسنده
چکیده
In the relativistic plasma surrounding a pulsar, a subluminal ordinary-mode electromagnetic wave will propagate along a magnetic field line. After some distance, it can break free of the field line and escape the magnetosphere to reach an observer. We describe a simple model of pulsar radio emission based on this scenario and find that applying this model to the case of the Vela pulsar reproduces qualitative characteristics of the observed Vela pulse profile.

We suggest a technique for construction of profiles of incoherent pulsar emission using instantaneous angular distribution indicatrix of radiation from relativistic source moving in the neutron star magnetosphere. In the general case the indicatrix depends on the kinematic parameters of radiation source such as velocity and acceleration. The method is illustrated by calculation of the profiles ...

We study the thermal evolution of a pulsar after a glitch in which the energy is released from a relative compact region. A set of relativistic thermal transport and energy balance equations is used to study the thermal evolution, without making the assumption of spherical symmetry. We use an exact cooling model to solve this set of differential equtions. Our results differ significantly from t...

متن کاملG.F.: The distance to the Vela pulsar gauged with HST parallax Observations
The distance to the Vela pulsar gauged with HST parallax observations. ABSTRACT The distance to the Vela pulsar (PSR B0833−45) has been traditionally assumed to be 500 pc. Although affected by a significant uncertainty, this value stuck to both the pulsar and the SNR. In an effort to obtain a model free distance measurement, we have applied high resolution astrometry to the pulsar V ∼ 23.6 opti...
