Description
The basic types of losses of the ultra relativistic electron-positron pulsar plasma in the upper atmosphere of a star-companion are considered. These types include: ionization losses of the medium atoms, their excitation losses, the losses connected with the energies transferred to the particles of plasma, the formation losses of the recoil δ electrons and Cherenkov radiation losses of moving particles, bremsstrahlung losses, the synchrotron radiation losses and the losses, connected with the inverse Compton emission. It is shown that the most rapid component of pulsar plasma can reach the top of convective zone. The range of kinetic energies of the plasma particles that reach the upper boundary of the convection zone will correspond to the range of the gigantic dipole resonance (GDR). The result of interaction of the pulsar plasma and of the upper atmosphere of examined star-companion will be the non-homogeneous heating of the local zones of photosphere and boundary between the photosphere and zone of convection on the different depths.
