| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the most famous neutron stars, the Crab pulsar, emits enigmatic giant radio pulses (GRP) which are more than several thousands stronger than normal radio pulses.
In this reseach project, we study the GRP phenomenon both observationally and theoretically. Observationally, we have obtained the world's first example of wide-frequency GRPs extending from 325MHz to 8GHz. Further, from the statistical study of many GRP observed below 2.3GHz, we discovered that about the half of GRP follows single power law frequency spectrum. Theoretically, we have quantitatively shown that transfer of wave energy toward the lower frequency region occurs via induced-Compoton scattering process along with the propagation of high-intensity radio waves, such as GRP.
