The Mechanisms for the Generation of Pulsar Radio and High-energy Emission
Abstract
he recent theory of propagation and generation of waves in a pulsar's magnetosphere is discussed. In particular we consider models of pulsar radio emission due to plasma instabilities. Wave- particle interactions can lead to quasilinear diffusion increasing a particle’s pitch-angle. The recent model of γ-ray emission from synchrotron radiation as a result of quasilinear diffusion is discussed.
