The gamma-ray source Geminga, whose radio emission has recently been detected, has a very low integrated radio luminosity (L ~ 10^26 erg s^-1), making it one of the faintest radio pulsars. The emission of such low-intensity radio emission from a young pulsar can be understood if it is generated near the light cylinder by the synchrotron mechanism. An additional factor weakening the radio emission is that the magnetic axis of the Geminga pulsar is at a small inclination to its rotation axis (i.e., Geminga is a nearly coaxial rotator).
