Abstract

The hypothesis of the relativistic beaming of pulsar emission is discussed in connection with objections advanced by Manchesteret al. (1973). It is shown that the same pulse duration of some pulsars with the non-power-law spectrum over a wide frequency interval may be associated either with large source sizes in longitude, or with location of the emitting source at various distances from the rotation axis of the neutron star (depending on the emission frequency).
