Scientific paper

Detailed study of 50 pulsars' radio emission spectra below 100 MHz has shown that virtually all of these pulsars have low frequency cutoffs. In most cases, these are an inherent feature associated with the emission mechanism. Since the kinetic energy of plasma bunches is comparable with the brightness temperature of radio emission measured in energy units, the reabsorption of the curvature radiation by the radiating plasma bunches may be necessary for the formation of pulsar radio emission spectra. It is presently shown that such radiation readsorption may be responsible for low frequency cutoffs in the pulsar radio emission spectra.
