Inverse mapping of pulsar magnetospheres: optical emission comes from 300 km above the surface
de Búrca, Diarmaid; O'Connor, Padraig; McDonald, John; Shearer, Andy (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2011-09-01)In order to determine the emission height of the optical photons from pulsars we present an inverse mapping approach, which is directly constrained by empirical data. The model discussed is for the case of the Crab pulsar. ...
