Scientific paper

A self-consistent radiation model of the pulsar NP0532 and the Crab Nebula is presented. It is based on the consideration of cyclotron instability in relativistic electron-positron plasma in a strong magnetic field. This instability is found near the light cylinder of pulsar NP0532. The pitch angle and energy distribution of particles, caused by cyclotron instability development are calculated. It is shown that X-ray and gamma ray radiation of the pulsar are explained by the synchrotron radiation of beam particles. Scattering of cyclotron perturbations on plasma particles is responsible for nonzero pitch angles of gamma rays. As a result, the synchroton radiation originates within optical frequencies. As cyclotron waves corresponding to a ratio frequency region can form solitons which carry energy of those waves out of the pulsar magnetosphere, the energy flux due to cyclotron waves from NP0532 is sufficient to explain its radio luminosity. The spectrum of ultrarelativistic electron-positron pairs ejected from the NP0532 pulsar magnetosphere into the Crab Nebula is calculated.
