| Abstract | We investigate properties of the emission 'on' and 'off' states in intermittent pulsars by modelling of the changes in spin-down rate between the two states, described by S-R = (omega) over dot(on)/(omega) over dot(off), as due to discrete changes of the spin-down torque in a magnetosphere of multiple states. In this model, each of the different spin-down rates corresponds to a unique magnetospheric state with a charge filling fraction. designated by the parameter y, and switching in the spin-down rate corresponds to a jump in the y value resulting in an abrupt change in S-R. We obtain trends of change in y(off) as a function of S-R with and without presuming y(on) and find that the magnetosphere is non-vacuum in the emission-off state as opposed to traditionally assumed. We consider two intermittent pulsars as example cases for the model. The identification of S-R up to six in our model implies that pulsars with large S-R is possible. We investigate the charge density, as indicated by y, in each emission state as a function of obliquity angle, alpha, for different S-R. Assuming a simple correlation between alpha and S-R, we estimate that changes in the latter as pulsar ages should be detectable. Our results suggest that more distinguishing features for intermittency are likely found in the emission-off state of an intermittent pulsar with small alpha. |
