Magnetic Energy Dissipation and γ-Ray Emission in Energetic Pulsars

Magnetic Energy Dissipation and γ-Ray Emission in Energetic Pulsars

Some of the most energetic pulsars exhibit rotation-modulated γ -ray emission in the 0.1–100 GeV band. The luminosity of this emission is typically 0.1%–10% of the pulsar spin-down power ( γ -ray efficiency), implying that a significant fraction of the available electromagnetic energy is dissipated...
