MODELING OF GAMMA-RAY PULSAR LIGHT CURVES USING THE FORCE-FREE MAGNETIC FIELD (2009, methodology): “…for short; Arons & Scharlemann 1979; Arons 1983; Muslimov & Harding 2003, 2004; Dyks & Rudak 2003; Dyks et al. 2004), the outer gap model(OG, Cheng et al. 1986a,b; Romani & Yadigaroglu 1995; Yadigaroglu 1997; Cheng et al. 2000), as well as the inner annular gap model (IAG, Qiao et al. 2004, 2007).”
The Proto-Magnetar Model for Gamma-Ray Bursts (2010, background): “…1/2] is the opening angle of the polar cap, corrected by a factor (1 + sin2 χ)1/2 to account for the larger cap size of an oblique rotator (e.g. Cheng et al. 2000; Bai & Spitkovsky 2010); Rns is the NS radius; RY is the ‘Y’ point radius where the close zone ends in the magnetic equatorial…”
High-Altitude Particle Acceleration and Radiation in Pulsar Slot Gaps (2004, background): “In this case, however, the radiation which forms caustic emission above the null surface can be viewed from only one pole (Romani & Yadigaroglu 1995, Cheng et al. 2000).”
Physics of strongly magnetized neutron stars (2006, background): “These cascades are limited by screening of the E‖ in directions both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field (Cheng et al 2000, Hirotani and Shibata 2001), taking into account the curvature of the field lines.”
FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE OBSERVATIONS OF THE CRAB PULSAR AND NEBULA (2009, unknown): “In particular, Kuiper et al. (2003) reported that, in the framework of the three-dimensional OG model developed by Cheng et al. (2000), one can reproduce the delay of the radio main pulse by (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.) shifting the production site of the…”
EFFICIENCY OF MAGNETIC TO KINETIC ENERGY CONVERSION IN A MONOPOLE MAGNETOSPHERE (2009, background): “…and farther from the neutron star in slot gaps (Arons 1983) and outer gaps (Cheng et al. 1976, 1986; Romani & Yadigaroglu 1995; Romani 1996; Cheng et al. 2000) suggest that the ratio of electromagnetic energy flux to matter energy flux in the inner pulsar wind is σ0 ∼ 103–105 and the…”
The Crab pulsar in the 0.75-30 MeV range as seen by CGRO COMPTEL (2001, methodology): “Thus the model proposed by Cheng et al. (2000) seems to provide a viable and promising theoretical description of the physics responsible for the production of the Crab high-energy radiation with characteristics as shown in Figs.”
High-Altitude Emission from Pulsar Slot Gaps: The Crab Pulsar (2008, methodology): “…of the neutron star magnetospheric geometry is based on the calculation of Dyks et al. (2004, hereafter DHR04), who adopted the retarded vacuum dipole solution (e.g., Romani & Yadigaroglu 1995; Cheng et al. 2000) to account for the rotational distortions and sweepback of the magnetic field lines.”
Two-Pole Caustic Model for High-Energy Light Curves of Pulsars (2003, background): “In the recent version of the outer gap model (Chiang & Romani 1992; Romani & Yadi- garoglu 1995; Yadigaroglu 1997; Cheng et al. 2000) the peaks in the lightcurves are purely due to the caustic effects – the fact first emphasized by Romani & Yadigaroglu (1995).”
