Abstract

AbstractSimilar to the terrestrial collision accelerators of e±, another kind of accelerator is above a positively or negatively charged pulsar polar cap. In the case of pulsars with magnetic axis parallel (anti-parallel) to rotational axis, relativistic e+(e−) with Lorentz factorγ~ 106hit the electrons in the polar caps. These scenarios are investigated both for pulsars being BSSs (bare strange stars) and for pulsars being NSs (neutron stars). Such a study may be valuable to differentiate NSs and BSSs observationally.
