By V. S. Beskin
This booklet offers the idea of the electrodynamic phenomena that ensue within the magnetosphere of a pulsar. It additionally presents a transparent photograph of the formation and evolution of neutron stars. The authors tackle the fundamental actual procedures of electron-positron plasma creation, the new release of electrical fields and currents, and the emission of radio waves and gamma rays. The ebook additionally studies the present observational info, and devotes an entire bankruptcy to an in depth comparability of this knowledge with authorized concept and with a few fresh theoretical predictions. Tables containing the values of the actual parameters of all saw radio pulsars also are supplied.
