摘要
In the relativistic plasma surrounding a pulsar, a subluminal ordinary-mode electromagnetic wave will propagate along a magnetic field line. After some distance, it can break free of the field line and escape the magnetosphere to reach an observer. We apply a simple model of pulsar radio emission based on this scenario to the case of the Vela pulsar and find it reproduces some qualitative characteristics of the observed Vela pulse profile.
