The emission mechanism of pulsars is still a big paradox for physicists, as no completely acceptable theory can reach a suitable consensus with observation. Some complicated coherent plasma processes and acceleration-based mechanisms in the pulsar magnetosphere generate a powerful radio beam. There have been dedicated theories such as the geometrical and relativistic phase shift (RPS) methods. The relativistic phase shift method is owing to the combined effects of aberration-retardation (A/R) and polar cap current effect (PCC), etc., and by implementing this method, we make quantitative inspections to deduce the emission altitude of the pulsar’s radio emission components. Here, we have shown the estimation of the emission height of pulsar PSR B2111+46 for both core and conal components at 925 MHz, 1.25 GHz, 1.65 GHz, and 4.85 GHz. Moreover, we have estimated the foot point, normalized with the last open field line constant, corresponding to pulse edges at multiple bands. Current analysis of the paper shows that at least for PSR B2111+46, the full polar cap is not sensitive to radio emission for most of the cases in the given stretch of radio frequency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8644,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics and Space Science","volume":"369 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a remarkable similarity between these phenomena and those happening with compressible acoustic modes. The relevance and possible importance of these phenomena for different types of astrophysical plasma flow patterns with kinematic complexity are discussed. In particular, we argue that these physical processes may account for the persistent appearance of plasma oscillations in the heliosphere and interstellar plasma flows.

We provide an affirmative response to this question, albeit with some limitations. Our analysis relies on a well-established thermodynamical quasi-equilibrium model for the cosmological N-body problem, along with an appropriate diffusion model for gravitational interactions. By identifying a scaling region, we were able to estimate diffusion coefficients directly from observational two-particle correlation functions or counts-in-cells distributions in large-scale structures.

The magnitude of these effects points to natal kicks that originate from asymmetries during the supernova (SN) explosions. Using a growing set of long-time 3D SN simulations with the <span>Prometheus-Vertex</span> code, we explore the interplay of NS kicks that are induced by asymmetric neutrino emission and by asymmetric mass ejection. Anisotropic neutrino emission can arise from a large-amplitude dipolar convection asymmetry inside the proto-NS (PNS) termed LESA (Lepton-number Emission Self-sustained Asymmetry) and from aspherical accretion downflows around the PNS, which can lead to anisotropic neutrino emission (absorption/scattering) with a neutrino-induced NS kick roughly opposite to (aligned with) the kick by asymmetric mass ejection. In massive progenitors, hydrodynamic kicks can reach up to more than 1300 km s<sup>−1</sup>, whereas our calculated neutrino kicks reach (55–140) km s<sup>−1</sup> (estimated upper bounds of (170–265) km s<sup>−1</sup>) and only ∼(10–50) km s<sup>−1</sup>, if LESA is the main cause of asymmetric neutrino emission. Therefore, hydrodynamic NS kicks dominate in explosions of high-mass progenitors, whereas LESA-induced neutrino kicks dominate for NSs born in low-energy SNe of the lowest-mass progenitors, when these explode nearly spherically. Our models suggest that the Crab pulsar with its velocity of ∼160 km s<sup>−1</sup>, if born in the low-energy explosion of a low-mass, single-star progenitor, should have received a hydrodynamic kick in a considerably asymmetric explosion. Black holes, if formed by the collapse of short-lived PNSs and solely kicked by anisotropic neutrino emission, obtain velocities of only some km s<sup>−1</sup>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8644,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics and Space Science","volume":"369 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10509-024-04343-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141887249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
