Coherent emission within or just beyond a neutron-star magnetosphere.

Most likelyAnswers 1 questionPublished0

Where it stands

Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • Small emitting regions in scintillation measurements.
  • Polarisation angle swings fitted by the rotating vector model.

What would rule it out

  • Scintillation limits implying an emitting region much larger than a magnetosphere in many bursts.
