Interlinking internal and external magnetic fields of relativistically rotating neutron stars
D. Ntotsikas, K. N. Gourgouliatos
This work presents a global solution for the internal and the external field of an axisymmetric rotating neutron star. It is shown that the twist of the internal field affects the…
A new solution of the pulsar equation
Ioannis Contopoulos, Ioannis Dimitropoulos, Dimitris Ntotsikas +1
We present the first new type of solution of the pulsar equation since 1999. In it, the whole magnetosphere is confined inside the light cylinder and an electrically charged layer…
Twisted magnetar magnetospheres
D. Ntotsikas, K. N. Gourgouliatos, I. Contopoulos +1
Magnetar magnetospheres are strongly twisted, and are able to power sudden energetic events through the rapid release of stored electromagnetic energy. In this paper, we investigat…
On the pulsar Y-point
I. Contopoulos, D. Ntotsikas, K. N. Gourgouliatos
The pulsar magnetosphere is divided into a corotating region of closed field lines surrounded by open field lines that emanate from the two poles of the star, extend to infinity an…
Force-free and twisted, relativistic neutron star magnetospheres
Dimitris Ntotsikas, Konstantinos N. Gourgouliatos
In this poster we present the structure of an axisymmetric, force-free magnetosphere of a twisted, aligned rotating dipole within a corotating plasma-filled magnetosphere. We explo…
