Abstract

The discovery of pulsar is an exciting discovery in 1960s, it has a profound influence on the development of modern physics. Although after the discovery of the first pulsar, it is quickly confirmed that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars, yet people knew little about the essential mechanism leading neutron stars to pulse electromagnetic radiation. Thus, the author has analyzed the morphology and atmospheric environment of neutron stars, and found that a neutron star usually has two vortex structures located at its South pole and North pole, consisting of two groups of parallel spiral cloud paths, therefore producing two groups of corresponding dipole magnetic fields located at the South pole and the North pole respectively. It is the superposition of these two groups of dipole magnetic fields with the same polarity that form the neutron star’s magnetic field continuously giving off radio and X-ray pulsations in lighthouse-like beams. Since the atmospheric vortexes on the planets of the Solar System are tiny accretion disks, and the accretion disks on neutron stars, black holes or active galactic nuclei are essentially large-scale atmospheric vortexes, neutron star’s vortex-formation mechanism and electromagnetic radiation mechanism can be extended to the accretion and jets of black holes.

Summary

Introduction

Pulsar is one kind of the most mysterious celestial bodies in the universe. Its high density, temperature, pressure and strength of magnetic field are beyond the imagination of people, arousing the great interest and curiosity of people. Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish observed the first pulsar on November 28, 1967 [1, 2], it is quickly confirmed that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars, making the neutron star turn from hypothesis to fact [3]. This is really a great celebration of astronomy in the last century. One notable feature of pulsar is its stable and short pulse period [6] How does such a kind of regular pulse come into being? The author has restudied the formation and evolution of pulsars, and found a reasonable answer
