Pulsar-Driven Jets in Supernovae, Gamma-Ray Bursts, and the Universe

Figure 14

Left: observer time as a function of source time for a supraluminally induced circular excitation at 5 times light speed with a period of 2𝜋 for three polar directions. Delays in the observer time of order millions have been suppressed, and the three curves have been arbitrarily offset by a few units for clarity. Right: the integral, into 512 discrete bins per cycle of observer time phase, of source time dwell versus observer time for the three curves (i.e., pulse profiles).
