Abstract

Crab pulsar High-energy emissions Theory
We apply a three-dimensional outer gap accelerator model to the Crab pulsar for examining the light curve, phase-resolved spectrum and polarization. The curvature radiation process of the high-energy particles in the gap is calculated with an assumed three-dimensional structure of the accelerating electric field. We calculate the synchrotron self-inverse Compton process from the secondary pairs, which will be the observed emissions in optical to γ-ray regions. We compute radiation transfer for each radiated beam in three-dimensional geometry. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
