1304.1980 (Dipanjan Mitra)

Observations that can unravel the coherent radio emission mechanism in pulsars    [PDF]

Dipanjan Mitra
Searching for the physical mechanism that can excite the coherent radio emission in pulsars is still an enigmatic problem. A wealth of high quality observations exist, which over the years have been instrumental in putting stringent constraints to pulsar emission models. In this article we will discuss the observational results that strongly suggests that pulsar radio emission is excited by coherent curvature radiation. We will also mention issues that remain to be resolved.
