Polar cap plasma loading and the morphology of pulsar -ray light curves
Jérôme Pétri
The discovery of more than 300 -ray pulsars by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) has revealed a rich diversity of light-curve morphologies that remains challenging to r…

High-energy radiation from the pulsar Equatorial Current Sheet
Ioannis Contopoulos, Jerome Petri, Ioannis Dimitropoulos
Pulsars emit beams of radiation that reveal the extreme physics of neutron star magnetospheres. Yet, their understanding remains incomplete. Recent global Particle-in-Cell (PIC) si…

Polarization of high-energy pulsar radiation in the striped wind model
J. Petri, J. Kirk
The Stokes parameters of the pulsed synchrotron radiation produced in the striped pulsar wind model are computed and compared with optical observations of the Crab pulsar. We assum…
