Pulsed nonthermal photon features for the Crab pulsar.

ZHANG L. and LI X.

Abstract (from CDS):

We use a modified three-dimensional outer gap model to explain the features of the pulsed emission and spectra of the Crab pulsar from X-ray to above 25 GeV regimes. In such an outer gap model, the phase-averaged spectra below ∼1 GeV are mainly produced through the synchrotron self-Compton mechanism, and the spectrum above ∼1 GeV are due to the survival curvature photons. Our results show that (1) the observed phase-averaged spectrum from X-rays to γ-rays including the Fermi LAT and MAGIC data can be reproduced well, and (2) the basic properties of both the observed phase-dependent spectra of both X-ray and γ-ray up to >25 GeV can be interpreted in this model.
