It is shown how the structure of the magnetosphere of a pulsar beyond but close to the speed of light cylinder can explain the gamma and radio radiation. Pulsar magnetosphere charged particles are accelerated by a low frequency electromagnetic field. This field is the superposition of a nondipolar one on a low frequency dipolar field associated with the star. The nondipolar field is generated by coherent effects associated with space charge and current density distributions created by the motion of the particles themselves, and may also explain the radio emission observed, through superluminal beaming of coherent radiation. The highly energetic particles may also radiate incoherently in the X and gamma domain and if they return to the surface of the star they create a quantum magnetosphere.
