Shocks break out from their surface following such contractions produce thermal x-ray/$\\gamma$-ray bursts. Highly relativistic dipolar $e^+e^-$ bunches launched from the pulsar polar caps emit fast radio bursts (FRBs) of narrowly beamed coherent curvature radiation, visible if it points in the direction of Earth. Although these surface x-ray/$\\gamma$-ray bursts are isotropic and many orders of magnitude more energetic than the FRBs, they are detectable by the current all sky x-ray and $\\gamma$-ray monitors only from our galaxy and nearby galaxies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-16T14:46:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "anomalous x-ray pulsars", "large glitches", "beamed coherent curvature radiation", "pulsar polar caps emit fast", "caps emit fast radio bursts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
