Electrodynamics of pulsar magnetospheres

B Cerutti, AM Beloborodov - Space Science Reviews, 2017 - Springer
We review electrodynamics of rotating magnetized neutron stars, from the early vacuum
model to recent numerical experiments with plasma-filled magnetospheres. Significant …

Theory of pulsar magnetosphere and wind

J Pétri - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2016 - cambridge.org
Neutron stars are fascinating astrophysical objects immersed in strong gravitational and
electromagnetic fields, at the edge of our current theories. These stars manifest themselves …

Time-dependent force-free pulsar magnetospheres: axisymmetric and oblique rotators

A Spitkovsky - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
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 the solution of …

Rotating Radio Transients: new discoveries, timing solutions and musings

EF Keane, M Kramer, AG Lyne… - Monthly Notices of …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We describe observations of Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) that were discovered in a
re-analysis of the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey (PMPS). The sources have now been …

[图书][B] MHD flows in compact astrophysical objects: accretion, winds and jets

VS Beskin - 2009 - books.google.com
Accretion flows, winds and jets of compact astrophysical objects and stars are generally
described within the framework of hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) …

On the force-free magnetosphere of an aligned rotator

AN Timokhin - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We investigate in detail the properties of the stationary force-free magnetosphere of an
aligned rotator assuming the last closed field line is lying in the equatorial plane at large …

Simulations of the axisymmetric magnetospheres of neutron stars

SS Komissarov - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
In this paper we present the results of time-dependent simulations of the dipolar
axisymmetric magnetospheres of neutron stars carried out within the frameworks of both …

Torque enhancement, spin equilibrium, and jet power from disk-induced opening of pulsar magnetic fields

K Parfrey, A Spitkovsky… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The interaction of a rotating star's magnetic field with a surrounding plasma disk lies at the
heart of many questions posed by neutron stars in X-ray binaries. We consider the opening …

Time-dependent 3D magnetohydrodynamic pulsar magnetospheres: oblique rotators

A Tchekhovskoy, A Spitkovsky… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
The current state of the art in pulsar magnetosphere modelling assumes the force-free limit
of magnetospheric plasma. This limit retains only partial information about plasma velocity …

A model for nulling and mode changing in pulsars

AN Timokhin - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
We propose that in some pulsars the magnetosphere has different states with different
geometries or/and different distributions of currents; it occasionally switches between them …
