| Description | Context. The microwave radio dynamic spectra of the Crab pulsar interpulse contain fine structures represented via narrowband quasi-harmonic stripes. The pattern significantly constrains any potential emission mechanism. Similar to the zebra patterns observed, for example, in type IV solar radio bursts or decameter and kilometer Jupiter radio emission, the double plasma resonance (DPR) effect of the cyclotron maser instability may allow for interpretion of observations of pulsar radio zebras. |
