Fermi-LAT pulsar spectral data

Here, we present a systematic study of all currently reported, good-quality Fermi-LAT pulsar spectral data. We do so by applying a model which follows the particle dynamics and consistently computes the emission of SC radiation.

By fitting observational data on a case by case basis, we are able to obtain constraints about the parallel electric field, the typical length-scale over which particles emit the bulk of the detected radiation, and the number of involved particles. The model copes well with data of several dozens of millisecond (MSPs) and young pulsars (YPs). By correlating the inferred model parameters with the observed timing properties, some trends are discovered.
