The radio-frequency energies per unit charge in the primary accelerated particle beam are given for each pulsar and form a distribution more than two orders of magnitude in width. The values found show that pulsars are extremely efficient generators of radiation below 1 - 10 GHz given the kinematic constraints which are obtained here in the cases of electron-positron and ion-proton plasmas. Our conclusion is that only the ion-proton plasma source is consistent with the spectra of normal and millisecond pulsars and we list and describe the factors which together support this conclusion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-02T11:13:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coherent radio emission", "ion-proton plasma source", "primary accelerated particle beam", "kinematic constraints", "unit charge" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stu1792", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2014, "month": "Nov", "volume": 445, "number": 1, "pages": 770 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1313575, "adsabs": "2014MNRAS.445..770J" } } }
