Abstract

Relying on the magnetic dipole model of the pulsar, we use the extension of the work of Haxton-Ruffini [31] for single charges by DePaolis-Ingrosso-Qadir [32] for an obliquely rotating magnetic dipole, to incorporate the effect of the gravitational mass. So, by using the numerical and analytical solutions of the differential equation for the radiation, we construct the energy spectra for different masses of the dipole-NS. These spectra show that, in relatively low angular momentum l, the effect of the gravitational mass is very significant in suppressing the relativistic enhancement factor, which had been found [27, 28, 32], by two to three orders of magnitude, as the mass changes from 0.5 solar mass to 3 solar masses. It is an indication that most of the angular momentum of the NS is retained as rotational kinetic energy instead of being radiated as an electromagnetic energy. Also, the suppressing in radiation energy is more or less independent of the angular momentum, and the high rotational velocity. We also found that electromagnetic energy is proportional to square of sin(inclination angle the obliquity) which is similar to the classical behavior. However, in the very high angular momentum, the whole radiation suppresses and the effect of mass is neglected. It indicates that the (special) relativistic enhancement expected is lost to the (general) relativistic increase of angular momentum after incorporating the effect of mass.
