Abstract

AbstractWe calculate the luminosity of the synchrotron radiation from the vicinity of the light cylinder. We find that even if the thermal emission from the entire surface is included as the seed photon, the γ-ray to X-ray flux ratio for young pulsars is significantly higher than the observations. For these pulsars, most of γ-ray photons may be absorbed in the magnetosphere.
