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 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 کاملPolarization transfer in pulsar magnetosphere
Propagation of radio waves in the ultrarelativistic magnetized electronpositron plasma of pulsar magnetosphere is considered. Polarization state of the original natural waves is found to vary markedly on account of the wave mode coupling and cyclotron absorption. The change is most pronounced when the regions of mode coupling and cyclotron resonance approximately coincide. In cases when the wav...
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...
متن کاملPulsar shade – discovery of inward emission in pulsar magnetosphere
We present the theory of eclipsing a rotating, spatially extended source of directional emission by a central absorber, and apply it to the pulsar magnetosphere. The theory assumes the radially extended inward radio emission along the local direction of magnetic field, and the pulsar as the absorber. Geometry of magnetic field lines of the rotating dipole is favourable for the double eclipse ev...
