Abstract

Pulsars generate radio waves by an unknown process which gives the highest volume emissivity known in astrophysics. The radiation forms a beam the width and polarization of which are independent of frequency. This article assembles the observational facts which any theory of emission must explain.

摘要

脉冲星通过一个未知过程产生无线电波，该过程产生了天体物理学中已知的最高体积发射率。辐射形成一束波束，其宽度和偏振与频率无关。本文汇集了任何发射理论都必须解释的观测事实。
