A Study on the Evolution of Emission Altitude with Frequency Among 104 Normal Pulsars by Chaoxin Luo, Xin Xu, Changrong Du, Qijun Zhi

“…In this work, it is found that the frequency evolution of pulsar emission altitude can be divided into three groups according to their different frequency dependencies of emission altitude (emission altitude decreases with frequency (Group A, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>η</mi><mo>≤</mo><mo>−</mo><mn>0.1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>), keeps relatively constant with frequency (Group B, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>0.1</mn><mo><</mo><mi>η</mi><mo>≤</mo><mn>0.1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>), and increases with frequency (Group C, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>η</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>0.1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>)), where <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>η</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> is the emission altitude variation rate.
