A possible mechanism for flattening of pulsar spectra at high frequencies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Pulsar spectra have three characteristic parts: a low frequency turnover (the region of the maximum), a linear part with a constant spectral index, and a high frequency cut-off (after it the spectrum becomes considerably steeper) (Malofeev et al. 1994). These three parts can be described in the frame of the usual model of curvature radiation (Malov 1979; Ochelkov & Usov 1984; Kuz’min & Solov’ev 1986; Malov & Malofeev 1991). Kramer et al. (1997) have found a flattening in the spectra of 4 pulsars at frequencies above 30 GHz. It cannot be understood in such model. We propose the possible explanation for the unusual behaviour of these spectra.
