We consider the problem of the thermal X-ray radiation from the hot polar cap of radio pulsars showing evidence of \EB subpulse drift in radio band. In our recent Paper I, using the partially screened gap (PSG) model of inner acceleration…

We examined a model of partially screened gap region above the polar cap, in which the electron-positron plasma generated by sparking discharges coexists with thermionic flow ejected by the bombardment of the surface beneath these sparks.…

The subpulse drifting phenomenon in pulsar radio emission is considered within the partially screened inner gap model, in which the sub-Goldreich-Julian thermionic flow of iron ions or electrons coexists with the spark-associated…

Radio pulsar subpulse drifting has been interpreted as rotation of sub-beams (sparks) of pair plasma produced by intermittent breakdowns of an inner vacuum gap above the pulsar polar cap. This model also predicts strong thermal X-ray…

Thermal and non-thermal radiation from pulsars carries significant information from surface and would have profound implications on the state of dense matter in compact stars. For the non-thermal radio emission, subpulse drifting phenomena…

Sub-pulse drifting has been regarded as one of the most insightful aspects of the pulsar radio emission. The phenomenon is generally explained with a system of emission sub-beams rotating around the magnetic axis, originating from a…

Despite the fact that pulsars have been observed for almost half a century, many questions have remained unanswered. We use the analysis of X-ray observations in order to study the polar cap region of radio pulsars. The size of the hot…

The heating of the real polar cap surface of radio pulsars by the bombardment of ultra-relativistic charges is studied. The real polar cap is a significantly smaller area within or close by the conventional polar cap which is encircled by…

We investigate the effect of pulsar polar cap (PC) heating produced by positrons returning from the upper pair formation front. Our calculations are based on a self-consistent treatment of the pair dynamics and the effect of electric field…

The classical vacuum gap model of Ruderman & Sutherland, in which spark-associated subbeams of subpulse emission circulate around the magnetic axis due to the EB drift, provides a natural and plausible physical mechanism of the subpulse…

The study of pulsars in the three and a half decades since their discovery has highlighted a handful of issues critical to their understanding. To date there is no consensus on the physical mechanism for their radio radio emission, despite…

The beautiful sequences of ``drifting'' subpulses observed in some radio pulsars have been regarded as among the most salient and potentially instructive characteristics of their emission, not least because they have appeared to represent a…

Thermal X-ray emission from rotation-powered pulsars is believed to originate from localized "hotspots" on the stellar surface occurring where large-scale currents from the magnetosphere return to heat the atmosphere. Lightcurve modeling…

The majority of X-ray-detected rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) appear to exhibit predominantly thermal emission, believed to originate from the heated magnetic polar caps of the pulsar. In the nearest MSP, J0437--4715 a faint PL…

Analysis of plasma acceleration in pulsars with positive corotational charge density has shown that any element of area on the polar cap is bi-stable: it can be in phases either of pure proton emission or of mixed ions and protons (the ion…

The origin and radiation mechanisms of high energy emissions from pulsars have remained mysterious since their discovery. Here we report, based on a sample of 68 pulsars, observational connection of non-thermal X-ray emissions from pulsars…

X-ray emission from many rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) is observed to be of predominantly thermal nature. In PSR J0437--4715, the nearest MSP known, an additional faint power-law tail is observed above 2.5 keV, commonly…

We have investigated the evolution of a system of sparking discharges in the inner acceleration region (IAR) above the pulsar polar cap. The surface of the polar cap is heated to temperatures around $10^6$ K and forms a partially screened…

In the canonical model of a pulsar, rotational energy is transmitted through the surrounding plasma via two electrical circuits, each connecting to the star over a small region known as a "polar cap." For a dipole-magnetized star, the polar…

The model of pulsar radio emission is discussed in which a coherent radio emis-sion is excited in a vacuum gap above polar cap of neutron star. Pulsar X and gamma radiation are considered as the result of low-frequency radio emission…
