We examine the electromagnetic spectrum of the Crab Nebula pulsar NP 0532. The present observations are in rough agreement with the idea that the orbit of the radiating particles involves two different radii of curvature. One of the possible models requires electrons with a typical energy of the order of 100 MeV and a density ≈ 109 cm−3. A correlation length of about 10 cm could then give the coherence of the radio emission. Slow pulsars are unlikely to emit an appreciable amount of optical or X-ray radiation but a weak infrared emission is possible.
