Abstract

The spectrum derived here for the most tightly-focused component of the radiation generated by the superluminally moving current sheet in the magnetosphere of a non-aligned neutron star has a distribution function that fits the entire gamma-ray spectrum of the Crab pulsar on its own. This is the first time that the undivided breadth of this spectrum, from $10^2$ to $10^6$ MeV, is not only described by a single distribution function but is also explained by means of a single emission mechanism.
