Scientific paper

A plasma mechanism for the emission of optical radiation by PSR 0531 + 21 is discussed. Interaction of the relativistic electron-positron plasma particles with Langmuir waves will cause diffusion of the particles, giving them an effective pitch angle. The calculated pitch angle yields estimates for the synchrotron-radiation parameters of the plasma particles in good accord with the observational data.
