Global structure of the pulsar force-free magnetosphere revisited
arXiv:1301.4865 · doi:10.1017/S1743921312024556
Abstract
A new model of the pulsar force-free magnetosphere is suggested, which includes the presence of the polar, outer and slot gaps. It is based on a new exact solution of the pulsar equation in the form of an offset monopole and the resultant split-offset monopole scheme.
