Abstract

Two parameters such as magnetic fields near the light cylinder $B_{lc} $ and rates of rotational energy losses $\frac{dE}{dt} $ for 1795 radio pulsars without high energy emission (R), 52 radio loud gamma-ray pulsars ( $\gamma$ +R), 33 radio quiet gamma-ray pulsars ( $\gamma$ ) and 61 radio loud X-ray pulsars (X+R) are compared with each other in this work. Pulsars with registered X-ray and gamma-ray emission have the higher median values of $B_{lc} $ and $\frac{dE}{dt} $ as compared to the population of ordinary radio pulsars. There is a trend of increasing of luminosities in X-ray and gamma-ray ranges for higher values of magnetic field near the light cylinder. We hypothesize that non-thermal X-ray and gamma-ray emissions are generated near the light cylinder by the synchrotron mechanism.
