On the Axisymmetric Force-free Pulsar Magnetosphere
We investigate the axisymmetric magnetosphere of an aligned rotating magnetic dipole surrounded by an ideal force-free plasma. We concentrate on the magnetic field structure around the point of intersection of the separatrix between the openand closed-field line regions and the equatorial plane. We first study the case in which this intersection point is located at the light cylinder. We find t...
متن کاملTime-dependent Force-free Pulsar Magnetospheres: Axisymmetric and Oblique Rotators
Magnetospheres of many astrophysical objects can be accurately described by the low-inertia (or “force-free”) limit of MHD. We present a new numerical method for solution of equations of force-free relativistic MHD based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach with a prescription for handling spontaneous formation of current sheets. We use this method to study the time-dependent ev...
متن کاملA Free-Electron Laser in the Pulsar Magnetosphere
We have studied systematically the free-electron laser in the context of high brightness pulsar radio emission. In this paper, we have numerically examined the case where a transverse electromagnetic wave is distorting the motion of a relativistic electron beam while travelling over one stellar radius (≈ 10 km). For different sets of parameters, coherent emission is generated by bunches of beam...

متن کاملThe Disturbance of a Millisecond Pulsar Magnetosphere
Pulsar timing has enabled some of the strongest tests of fundamental physics. Central to the technique is the assumption that the detected radio pulses can be used to accurately measure the rotation of the pulsar. Here we report on a broad-band variation in the pulse profile of the millisecond pulsar J1643−1224. A new component of emission suddenly appears in the pulse profile, decays over 4 mo...
