Abstract
We calculate the light curve and phase-resolved spectra of Geminga in a thr ee-dimensional pulsar magnetosphere model. The light curve of gamma-rays is consistent with that observed if the magnetic inclination and viewing angl e are similar to 50 degrees and similar to 86 degrees respectively. We also model the phase-resolved spectra of the Geminga pulsar.
