Scientific paper

With the increased sensitivity of gamma-ray detectors on the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory the number of presently known gamma-ray pulsars has grown. The new detections are beginning to provide clues to the origin of the high-energy radiation in the form of emerging patterns and correlations among observed quantities such as gamma-ray efficiency and spectral index vs. age. This paper describes some of the basic physics of pulsars and their high-energy emission: the rotating neutron star model, high energy emission, acceleration, gamma-ray emission in polar gap models, gamma-ray emission in the outer gap model, energetics and efficiency, polar cap heating and thermal X-ray emission.
