Abstract

The correlations between the luminosities of radio pulsars in various wavebands and the magnetic fields at the light cylinder suggest that the observed emission is generated in outer layers of the pulsar magnetospheres by the synchrotron mechanism. The formula for calculating the X-ray luminosity LX of radio pulsars is derived in the framework of the synchrotron model. It is shown that LX depends strongly on the parameter This raises the possibility of predicting the detection of X-ray emission from more than a hundred known radio pulsars.
