Modeling pulsed radio and gamma-ray emissions from PSRs J2302+4442 and J0659+1414

Abstract The multi-band observation, from radio to gamma-ray, plays a crucial role in constraining the emission physics and geometrical magnetospheric models of the pulsars. In this paper, We use three-dimensional magnetospheric model, with the joint of the annular gap (AG) and core gap (CG) model, to simulate the radio and gamma-ray light curves for two representative pulsars, a millisecond pulsar J2302+4442 and a young pulsar J0659+1414. It is found that for PSR J2302 + 4442, the simulated magnetic inclination angle α and viewing angle ζ are 34 ∘ and 46 ∘ , and for PSR J0659 + 1414 are 45 ∘ and 33 ∘ . This implies that the radio and gamma-ray pulse emission originates from different magnetospheric regions and the radiation geometry for millisecond and young pulsar is different. The studies show that the joint of the AG and CG model can describe the light curves not only for millisecond pulsars but also for young pulsars, and hence it can be used to explain the multi-wavelength observations of pulsars.
