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

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

**Most likely** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its 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.

## Evidence 2 for · none against
