We present the results of the simultaneous observation of the giant radio pulses (GRPs) from the Crab pulsar at 0.3, 1.6, 2.2, 6.7, and 8.4 GHz with four telescopes in Japan. We obtain 3194 and 272 GRPs occurring at the main pulse and the…

In this paper, we compute a full atlas of radio, X-ray and $\gamma$-ray pulse profiles relying on the force-free magnetosphere model. Our goal is to use such data bank of multi-wavelength profiles to fit a substantial number of radio-loud…

We analytically examine the capabilities of rotation-powered pulsars as the sources of gamma-rays and show that their phase-averaged gamma-ray flux is proportional to the product of the spin-down flux and the gap trans-field thickness cubed…
