چکیده

It is shown that the slow glitches in the spin rate of the pulsar B1822-09 can be explained by the reconstruction of the neutron star shape, which is not matched with the star rotation axis. Owing to the evolution of the inclination angle, i.e. the angle between the rotation axis and the axis of the magnetic dipole, under the action of the braking torque, there appears the disagreement between the rotation axis and the symmetry axis. After the angle between the axis of symmetry and the axis of the rotation achieves the maximum value of α ≃ 2 · 10 the shape of the neutron star becomes matching with the rotation axis. Such reconstruction is observed as the slow glitch.

Gravitation spin effect on the magnetic inclination evolution of pulsars

If pulsar magnetic fields are associated with the intrinsic magnetic moment of neutrons inside the stellar crust, the gravitational spin effect can induce the magnetic axis to align with the rotation axis. Our theoretical results show that the decay time scale is inversely proportional to the magnetic field strength, and that longer initial period pulsars can delay the alignment process. Theref...

PSR J2019+2425: A Unique Testing Ground for Binary Evolution

If the theoretical relationship between white dwarf mass and orbital period for wide-orbit binary radio pulsars is assumed to be correct, then the neutron star mass of PSR J2019+2425 is shown to be ∼ 1.20M⊙. Hence the mass of the neutron star in this system prior to the mass transfer phase is expected to have been < 1.1M⊙. Alternatively this system descends from the accretion induced collapse (...

Non-thermal emissions from outer magnetospheric accelerators of middle-aged pulsars

We discuss γ-ray emissions from the outer gap accelerators of middle-aged pulsars for part of the series of our studies. A two-dimensional electrodynamic model is used to solve the distribution of accelerating electric fields with electron and positron pair creation and radiation processes in the magnetic meridional plane. We compute the curvature radiation and the synchrotron radiation by solv...

On the pulse-width statistics in radio pulsars

The Monte Carlo simulations of pulsar periods, pulse-widths and magnetic inclination angles are performed. Using the available observational data sets we study a possible trial parent distribution functions by means of the KolmogorovSmirnov significance tests. We also use an additional condition that the numbers of generated interpulses, whether from both magnetic poles or from single pole, are...

An 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...
