摘要: Some current topics in the theory of pulsar magnetospheres and their emission are reviewed. The mode plasma supply its consequences for structure planetary stellar is discussed. In case, supplied by electrical forces, contrast to all other known examples. resulting theories particle acceleration along polar field lines then reviewed, total energization charge separated summarized, when pair creation absent. effects reviewed using models steady unsteady flows, zones emit either electrons or ions. application these pulsars discussed, with particular attention paid amount electron-positron created momentum distribution. Qualitative agreement shown between spatial relativistically outflowing described one version morphology wave forms. Various aspects radiation transport based on flow model creation, phenomenon marching subpulses corotation beaming expanding sheet also discussed briefly, paper concludes a brief discussion relation problem Crab Nebula.
