On the Emission Site of Gamma Rays from Pulsars Hsiang-Kuang Chang and Cheng Ho 徐佩君 清華大學天文研究所 Gamma-Ray Pulsars Their spectra Models Polar-cap Outer-gap Power-law Spectra Photon Indices Assumption a steady cooling population of charged particles Synchrotron radiation P=2 → Γ＝3/2 Curvature radiation P=4 → Γ＝5/3 Method The distance of the inferred emission site from the stellar center curvature radiation synchrotron radiation Bending Energy (Eb) of PSR B1509-58 Eb of Vela Eb of PSR B1706-44 Eb of PSR B1951+32 Eb of Geminga Eb of PSR B1055-52 Determining the emission site Result Discussion Under the assumption that the gamma-ray emission comes from a steady cooling population of charged particles, the synchrotron radiation in outer magnetospheres as the emission mechanism is consistent with the spectral behavior of most gamma-ray pulsars.
