چکیده

We reconstruct a 3+1 formalism of general relativistic electromagnetism, and derive the equations of motion of charged particles in the pulsar magnetosphere, taking account of the inclination between the rotation axis and the magnetic axis. Apart from the previous works where space charge is evaluated by assuming the flow velocity being the light speed, we analyze particle motion in the polar cap, finding that gravity changes significantly its dynamics and the condition for acceleration. Subject headings: acceleration of particles, gravitation, magnetic fields, pulsars

We discuss axisymmetric force-free pulsar magnetospheres with magnetically collimated jets and a disk-wind obtained by numerical solution of the pulsar equation. This solution represents an alternative to the quasi-spherical wind solutions where a major part of the current flow is in a current sheet which is unstable to magnetic field annihilation.

The pulsar magnetosphere contains a strongly magnetized, relativistic plasma. We need to understand the physics of that plasma if we want to connect the data to the models. Our group in Socorro is mixing theory and observations in order to study the radio-loud pulsar plasma. In this paper we report on several aspects of our current work.

The energy range of IBIS is a promising ground for testing mutual relations of distinct components expected in the spectra of high-energy radiation from rotation powered pulsars. According to some polar-cap models two such components-due to curvature and synchrotron emission-may contribute comparable amounts of power between 15 keV and 10 MeV (Rudak & Dyks, 1999). Zhang & Harding (2000) argued ...
