Si tratta di un modello e questo modello dice che il flusso responsabile dell'emissione di radiazione oscilla come una funzione della frequenza. ma più avanti dice:

However, Singleton said, the fact that the source moves faster than the speed of light results in a flux that oscillates as a function of frequency. "Despite the large speed of the polarization current itself, the small displacements of the charged particles that make it up means that their velocities remain slower than light," he said.
These superluminal polarization currents are disturbances in the pulsar’s plasma atmosphere in which oppositely-charged particles are displaced by small amounts in opposite directions; they are induced by the neutron star’s rotating magnetic field. This creates the electromagnetic equivalent of a sonic boom from accelerating supersonic aircraft. Just as the “boom” can be very loud a long way from the aircraft, the analogous signals from the pulsar remain intense over very long distances.
