Hollow core?

Abstract

We carried out the Gaussian fitting to the profile of PSR B1237+25 and found that six components rather than five are necessary to make a good fit. In the central part, we found that the core emission is not filled pencil beam but is a small hollow cone. This implies that the impact angle could be $\beta <0.5^{\circ }$. The ``hollow core'' is in agreement with Inverse Compton Scattering model of radio pulsars.
