A New Look at the Classification of Pulsars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 September 2017
Abstract
It is shown that pulsars with long periods differ systematically from those with short periods. We conclude that generation of emission in the second group occurs in a very thin layer (near the light cylinder). Relativistic effects may be significant here. Some properties of core emission can be explained by Melrose's mechanism.
