Abstract
THE recent detection1 of a significant unpulsed fraction of the light from the Crab Nebula pulsar invites comment regarding models for the beaming of the radiation. One such model is the relativistic beaming model2–4 in which the radiation comes from a region near the speed-of-light cylinder of a neutron star magnetosphere. Here the predictions of this model are investigated, using model parameters found by Ferguson et al.5 from fits to the polarisation characteristics of the Crab pulsar, and which were subsequently found6 to agree with the change of light curve with colour of the secondary pulse.
