Electron Outflow in Pulsar Magnetospheres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
Mestel, Wang and Westfold (1984; ‘MWW’) have recently introduced a pulsar magnetosphere model in which electrons leave the star with non-negligible, but not highly-relativistic, speeds, and flow with moderate acceleration along magnetic field lines before reaching a limiting surface, near which rapid acceleration occurs. Such moderately accelerated flows are analysed here. A second class of flows, which do not encounter a region of rapid acceleration, is found.
