Curvature radiation in rotating pulsar magnetosphere

We investigate the curvature radiation from relativistic particles streaming along magnetic field lines and co-rotating with a pulsar. The co-rotation affects the trajectories of the particles and hence the emission properties, especially the polarization. For three density models in the form of core, cone and patches, we calculate the polarized emission at a given height and also the integrated emission for the whole open field line region, and try to explain the generation of circular polarization.
