Gamma-ray emission from millisecond pulsars - an Outergap perspective
In this review paper we explain the following gamma-ray emission features from the millisecond pulsars. (1) Why is the dipolar field of millisecond pulsars so weak but the magnetic pair creation process may still be able to control the size of the outergap? (2) A sub-GeV pulse component could occu...

| description | In this review paper we explain the following gamma-ray emission features from the millisecond pulsars. (1) Why is the dipolar
field of millisecond pulsars so weak but the magnetic pair creation process may still be able to control the size of the outergap?
(2) A sub-GeV pulse component could occur in the vicinity of the radio pulse of millisecond pulsars. (3) Orbital modulated
gamma-rays should exist in the black widow systems for large viewing angle. |
