Development of Kolmogorov Spectrum in Pulsar Radio Emission
/ Authors
/ Abstract
It is shown that the scattering of electromagnetic waves by Langmuir ones, taking into account the electric drift motion of particles, is the most intense nonlinear process and should be responsible for the formation of the radiation spectrum of radio pulsars. Our analysis indicates that, in the case of existence, inertial interval formation of stationary spectra is possible. Analysis of the linear mechanisms of wave generation and sink allow us to conclude that the only possible stationary solution has the spectral index α = –1.5. The obtained spectrum is in good agreement with observational data.
