An alternative interpretation of magnetars' traits deduced from the observational data on their outburst fluxes and spectra
Houshang Ardavan
By applying the Efron-Petrosian method to the fluxes and distances of the magnetars listed in the Magnetar Outburst Online Catalogue, we show that the observational data ar…
Gamma-ray spectra of the Crab, Vela and Geminga pulsars fitted with SED of the emission from their current sheet
Houshang Ardavan
We show that the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the tightly focused radiation generated by the superluminally moving current sheet in the magnetosphere of a non-aligned neut…
A heuristic account of the radiation by the superluminally moving current sheet in the magnetosphere of a neutron star
Houshang Ardavan
Results of the mathematical treatment of the radiation by the superluminally moving current sheet in the magnetosphere of a neutron star, which was presented in Ardavan (2021, {\it…
Radio spectra of pulsars fitted with the spectral distribution function of the emission from their current sheet
Houshang Ardavan
In their catalogue of pulsars' radio spectra, Swainston et al. (2022, PASA, 39, e056) distinguish between five different forms of these spectra: those that can be fitted with (i) a…
