Pair Production Multiplicities in Rotation‐powered Pulsars
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 We discuss the creation of electron-positron cascades in the context of pulsar polar cap acceleration models and derive several useful analytic and semi-analytic results for the spatial extent and energy response of the cascade. Instead of Monte Carlo simulations, we use an integro- differential equation which describes the development of the cascade ...

Gamma‐Ray Emission from Rotation‐powered Pulsars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 Using a simplified model of cascade pair creation over pulsar polar caps presented in two previous papers, we investigate the expected gamma-ray output from pulsars' low altitude particle acceleration and pair creation regions. We divide pulsars into several categories, based on which mechanism truncates the particle acceleration off the polar cap, and

ASCA observations of Galactic rotation-powered pulsars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2000 Abstract We have examined several archival ASCA observations of Galactic radio pulsars, including PSRs B1046–58 and B1610–50. X-ray emission is detected from PSR B1046–58 with a significance of ∼5σ. We find no evidence for pulsations. We argue that the emission is from a spatially unresolved synchrotron nebula powered by the pulsar.

BeppoSAX observations of rotation-powered pulsars [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2004 During its life, BeppoSAX observed several isolated pulsars, giving important contributions to the knowledge of the phenomenology and properties of the X-ray emission from this class of sources. In this paper I review the spectral and timing results obtained from BeppoSAX observations.

Phase Offset of Rotation-Powered X-ray Pulsars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003 Combing the data of all the 10 rotation-powered pulsars that have measurements of relative phase of radio and X-ray pulses, we report here the behavior of radio/X-ray phase offset. We find that the radio/X-ray offset of normal pulsars does not show the trend of increase with increasing pulsar period as the radio/gamma-ray offset exhibits. The offset of

Bursts from High-magnetic-field Pulsars Swift J1818.0-1607 and PSR J1846.4-0258
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The detection of magnetar-like bursts from highly magnetic ( B > 10 ^13 G) rotation-powered pulsars (RPPs) opened the magnetar population to yet another group of neutron stars.
