Description
For most of the known pulsars their emission is powered by the loss of the their rotational energy. The noncoherent, nonthermal emission has been detected form optical to TeV gamma-rays in >100 pulsars. In a few pulsars we also can see thermal radiation from the neutron star surface/atmosphere. I will review the properties of both components including their efficiencies, dependence of radiation properties on pulsar age and spin-down power, connection between the pulsar and pulsar-wind nebula emission. I will describe the most interesting recent findings.
