Nonlinear reflection from the surface of neutron stars and features of radio emission from the pulsar in the Crab nebula

摘要

There are no explanations for the high-frequency component of the emission from the pulsar in the Crab nebula, but it may be a manifestation of instability in nonlinear reflection from the star's surface. Radiation from relativistic positrons flying from the magnetosphere to the star and accelerated by the electric field of the polar gap is reflected. The instability involves stimulated scattering on surface waves. Published by AIP Publishing.
