High Time Resolution Signatures of the Pulsar Radio Emission Mechanism

9315285 Hankins虽然射电辐射已经被发现了近三十年，并且被认为是旋转的中子星，但产生辐射的机制仍然知之甚少。 将进行观测和理论研究，以区分现有的几种脉冲星发射模型中哪一种是正确的。 理论研究将侧重于各种模型预计的排放量的快速波动，目的是揭示将区分它们的特征。 理论预测将通过观测进行测试，时间分辨率比以前达到的要高一个数量级。 ***

9315285 Hankins Although radio pulsars have been known for nearly three decades and have been attributed to rotating neutron stars for nearly that long, the mechanism producing the radiation is still poorly understood. Observational and theoretical studies will be conducted to distinguish which of several existing models for pulsar emission is correct. The theoretical studies will focus on the rapid fluctuations of the emission expected from various models with the goal of uncovering features which will distinguish among them. The theoretical predictions will be tested through observations with time resolution an order of magnitude better than has been achieved previously. ***
