ENERGY PROPERTIES OF LONG-PERIOD AND SHOR T-PERIOD PULSARS

The dependence of luminosity and either energy characteristics on puls ar parameters for objects with periods P greater than or equal to 1s a nd P < 0.1 s is analyzed. Pulsars of the first group are shown to have , on the average, lower luminosities but larger coefficients of conver sion of rotational energy into radio emission. Short-period pulsars ex hibit a high correlation between luminosity and magnetic-field strengt h near the light cylinder, as well as between luminosity and inclinati on of the magnetic axis to the rotation axis. These correlations are c onsistent with predictions of the model of emission generation in puls ars with short periods in the vicinity of the light cylinder.
