Scientific paper

Smith (1973) has proposed that the directional pattern of pulsar emission is formed in magnetospheric regions separated from the neutron star by a distance of the order of the radius of the light cylinder. This model is used to estimate the energy of emitting electrons in the pulsar's reference frame. The results indicate that the dipole model of a pulsar magnetic field contradicts observational data because the factor characterizing electron energy in the pulsar's reference frame (gamma) is less than unity for type S pulsars in the framework of the dipole model and Smith's mechanism. It is shown that gamma is not constant in the emission zone and that monochromatic radiation is not emitted from that zone when Smith's model is applied.
