The Crab nebula energy origin and its high frequency radiation spectra

Abstract

In the present work there is presented a model describing transfer of the Crab pulsar’s spin-down energy into the powerful synchrotron emission of the nebula. The process of the energy transfer consists of several consecutive stages. The physical processes underlying the theoretical model provide us with the synchrotron emission spectrum, which fits well with the observed one.

Relativistic Effects of Rotation in γ-ray Pulsars—Invited Review

“…It is worth noting that different species of centrifugally accelerated particles experience different forces, leading to charge separation and a consequent generation of the electrostatic field. On the other hand, as was found in [25,41], the relativistic centrifugal force is time dependent, and therefore, the excitation process is parametrically amplified.…”

Relativistic effects of rotation in $γ$-ray pulsars -- Invited Review

“…It is worth noting that different species of centrifugally accelerated particles experience different forces leading to charge separation and a consequent generation of the electrostatic field. On the other hand, as it is found in [23,42] the relativistic centrifugal force is time dependent and therefore, the excitation process is parametrically amplified.…”

Centrifugal Acceleration in Relativistic Astrophysics

“…The purpose of the idealized "gedankenexperiment" was to mimic the motion of centrifugally driven charged particles in various astronomical situations. The possible importance of this result in the context of centrifugally driven dynamics of particles in rapidly rotating pulsar magnetospheres and astrophysical jets was later repeatedly pointed out [7] and extensively studied in a number of subsequent publications [8][9][10][11][12]. Namely, particle acceleration by rotating magnetospheres in active galactic nuclei was investigated [13]; the role of radiation reaction forces in the dynamics of centrifugally accelerated particles was explored [14]; centrifugal acceleration was studied in isotropic photon fields [15] and in wormhole metrics [16].…”
