OSIRIS-GR: General relativistic activation of the polar cap of a compact neutron star
R. Torres, T. Grismayer, F. Cruz +2
We present ab initio global general-relativistic Particle-in-cell (GR-PIC) simulations of compact millisecond neutron star magnetospheres in the axisymmetric aligned rotator config…

Particle-in-cell simulations of pulsar magnetospheres: transition between electrosphere and force-free regimes
Fábio Cruz, Thomas Grismayer, Alexander Y. Chen +3
Global particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of pulsar magnetospheres are performed with a volume, surface and pair production-based plasma injection schemes to systematically investi…
