Pulsar death line revisited -- I. Almost vacuum gap
arXiv:2201.02875 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stab3575
Abstract
In this paper, which is the first in a series of papers devoted to a detailed analysis of the death line of radio pulsars, we consider a possibility of producing secondary particles at a sufficiently long pulsar period P. To this end, we reconsidered the potential drop necessary for secondary plasma generation in the inner gap over magnetic polar caps. Our research made it possible to refine the conditions for generating secondary plasma, such as the multiplicity of the production of secondary particles and their spatial distribution. Our research also made it possible to further quantitatively analyse the dependence of the possibility of secondary plasma generation on all parameters, including the inclination angle of the magnetic axis to the rotation axis, the polar cap size and the magnetic field geometry.
