1306.2341 (Rahul Basu et al.)

An emission mechanism explaining off-pulse emission originating in the outer magnetosphere of pulsars    [PDF]

Rahul Basu, Dipanjan Mitra, George I. Melikidze
We have examined the cyclotron resonance instability developing in the relativistic out-flowing plasma in the pulsar magnetosphere. The instability condition leads to radio emission in the sub-GHz frequency regime which is likely to be seen as off-pulse emission. Recent studies have shown the presence of off-pulse emission in long period pulsars, and we demonstrate this plasma process to be an energetically viable mechanism.
