Physics

Scientific paper

We request an 20-ks observation of the Crab pulsar with the Chandra HRC-S to correlate radio giant pulses with X-ray photons. The goal of our experiment is to obtain the best constraints ever on the giant pulse emission mechanism. We will accumulate about 20,000 radio giant pulses with simultaneous Chandra data, making this the first such correlation study at these energies to date. This work is important for constraining the giant-pulse emission mechanism and for testing the first quantitative model for radio giant pulses. It will also help us to understand the elusive pulsar emission mechanism in general and probe the exotic physics of relativistic particle acceleration in high magnetic fields.
