Electrodynamics of pulsar magnetospheres
I review the theoretical understanding of the global structure of pulsar magnetospheres concentrating on recent progress in force-free electrodynamics and first-principles simulations of magnetospheres.
متن کاملPulsar Braking Indices Revisited
Using the standard equation for the slowdown of a neutron star, we derive a formula for the braking index via integration rather than the conventional differentiation. The new formula negates the need to measure the second time derivative of the rotation frequency, .. ν. We show that the method gives similar braking indices for PSR B1509– 58 and the Crab pulsar to those already in the literatur...
متن کاملPulsar electrodynamics: a time-dependent view
Pulsar spindown forms a reliable yet enigmatic prototype for the energy loss processes in many astrophysical objects including accretion disks and back holes. In this paper we review the physics of pulsar magnetospheres, concentrating on recent developmen ts in force-free modeling of the magnetospheric structure. In particular, we discuss a new method for solving the equations of time-dependent...
متن کاملM. Kramer, N. Wex, and R. Wielebinski, eds. Pulsar Electrodynamics
First I emphasize the magnetospheric loop current system induced by the wind activity. Next, I address the formation of the fieldaligned electric field. An interesting aspect is the reaction of the inner magnetosphere to an induced current. In the traditional outer gap, the current running through the gap is all carried by the particles created in the gap. However, if external current-carrying ...
متن کاملAdaptive Filters Revisited - RFI Mitigation in Pulsar Observations
1 Pulsar detection and timing experiments are applications where adaptive filters seem eminently suitable tools for radio-frequency-interference (RFI) mitigation. We describe a novel variant which works well in field trials of pulsar observations centred on an observing frequency of 675 MHz, a bandwidth of 64 MHz and with 2-bit sampling. Adaptive filters have generally received bad press for RF...
