The Rest of the Story: Radio Pulsars and IR through Gamma-Ray Emission

Abstract

Recent observations have detected a number of young pulsars from the power peak in the gamma-ray band to the incoherent photon peak in the optical/IR. We have made progress on the multiwavelength phenomenology of pulsar emission and beaming, but a wide variation of light curves between different objects and different energy bands makes the full story complex. I sketch here a `Unified Model' of pulsar beaming and summarize the radiation mechanisms and their interplay in outer magnetosphere models of pulsar high energy emission.
