Time evolution of pulsar obliquity angle from 3D simulations of magnetospheres
Alexander Philippov, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Jason G. Li
The rotational period of isolated pulsars increases over time due to the extraction of angular momentum by electromagnetic torques. These torques also change the obliquity angle $α…
Time-Dependent 3D Magnetohydrodynamic Pulsar Magnetospheres: Oblique Rotators
Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Jason G. Li
The current state of the art in pulsar magnetosphere modeling assumes the force-free limit of magnetospheric plasma. This limit retains only partial information about plasma veloci…
Rotating Accretion Flows: From Infinity to the Black Hole
Jason Li, Jeremiah Ostriker, Rashid Sunyaev
Accretion onto a supermassive black hole of a rotating inflow is a particularly difficult problem to study because of the wide range of length scales involved. There have been broa…
On the Spin-Down of Intermittent Pulsars
Jason Li, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Alexander Tchekhovskoy
Magnetospheres of pulsars are thought to be filled with plasma, and variations in plasma supply can affect both pulsar emission properties and spin-down rates. A number of recently…
Resistive Solutions for Pulsar Magnetospheres
Jason Li, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Alexander Tchekhovskoy
The current state of the art in the modeling of pulsar magnetospheres invokes either the vacuum or force-free limits for the magnetospheric plasma. Neither of these limits can simu…
Stability of Relativistic Force-Free Jets
Ramesh Narayan, Jason Li, Alexander Tchekhovskoy
We consider a two-parameter family of cylindrical force-free equilibria, modeled to match numerical simulations of relativistic force-free jets. We study the linear stability of th…
