First significant detection of gamma-ray pulsed radiation variations associated with a glitch in PSR J0205+6449, with changes in peak amplitude ratio and separation attributed to magnetospheric reconfiguration.
3D kinetic simulations of pre-merger binary neutron star magnetospheres predict nonthermal gamma-ray signals at ~16 MeV and fast radio burst-like radio transients from reconnecting current sheets.
Synchrotron cooling produces an energy-dependent loss cone and a cooled-loss-cone plasma distribution in neutron star outer magnetospheres, with losses localized at a few hundred to a thousand stellar radii.
