Abstract

For comprehensive studying of giant pulses (GPs) from the Crab pulsar and the original millisecond pulsar (MSP) B1937+21 (J1939+2134), we conducted multifrequency observations over the last few years. They show that giant pulses may be improbably bright, 105, 106 Jy and more, they have extra ordinal spectra and polarization. EM energy concentrated in such strong pulse is high enough to accelerate particles up to Lorenz factor gamma ~ 104 - 106, since giant pulses may play an important role in physics of pulsar's magnetosphere.
