If the binding energy of the pulsar's surface is not so high (the case of a neutron star), both the negative and positive charges will flow out freely from the surface of the star. The annular free flow model for $\gamma$-ray emission of…
The X-ray and gamma-ray spectrum of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars is investigated in a model for acceleration and pair cascades on open field lines above the polar caps. Although these pulsars have low surface magnetic fields, their…
Extended periods of radio pulsations have been observed for six magnetars, displaying characteristics different from those of ordinary pulsars. In this Letter, we argue that radio emission is generated in a closed, twisted magnetic flux…
It is of great important to study pulsar beam shapes if we are concerned with emission theories and pulsar birth rate. Both observations and/or the inverse Compton scattering model show that different emission components are emitted from…

It is now known that the emission from radio pulsars can vary over a wide range of timescales, from fractions of seconds to decades. However, it is not yet known if long- and short-term emission variability are caused by the same physical…
