The time structure of the gamma-ray emission from the Crab and VELA pulsars
Abstract
High resolution data on the pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Crab and Vela pulsars are presented. The light curves of these two pulsars at gamma-ray energies show striking similarities. The measured pulsed intensity from Vela at energies greater than 50 MeV was found to be .000013 sq cm/sec. The energy spectrum is not consistent with a power law.
