Dissipative Pulsar Magnetosphere
arXiv:0804.4176 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2008/11/002
Abstract
Dissipative axisymmetric pulsar magnetosphere is calculated by a direct numerical simulation of the Strong-Field Electrodynamics equations. The magnetic separatrix disappears, it is replaced by a region of enhanced dissipation. With a better numerical scheme, one should be able to calculate the bolometric lightcurves for a given conductivity.
