Description:

Pulsars are conventionally considered to be rotating neutron stars, which have been regarded as a textbook case of particle acceleration site emitting radiation in the wide energy band. Pulsars are the very simple system, rotating magnets. White dwarfs, having the same structures of magnetospheres as neutron stars, can have such activities. ‘Why we do not have White Dwarf Pulsars (WDP) when we have many kinds of neutron star pulsars’ is a basic question in rotating magnetic compact objects. Recently, several observational approaches to search for white dwarf pulsars are performed in high energy photon bands. The aims of this section are 1) to focus on current results and future prospects of WDP observations and 2) to discuss on the particle acceleration process, emission mechanisms, and structures of magnetosphere etc of WDP in comparison with neutron-star pulsar cases.
