Scientific paper

Extremely high energy bursts of pulsed gamma-rays have recently been detected from several binary X-ray pulsars and young radio pulsars. It is proposed that curvature synchrotron radiation from electrons (accelerated along the open magnetic field lines) is a possible origin of this emission. The electric and magnetic fields in the present model are computed in the near zone (close to the magnetic poles), and the effects of space charge limited flow and pair creation are considered. It is found that the measured photon energy of the emission from most of these pulsars is consistent with the present model.
