The complex charm of the pulsar magnetosphere
A. N. Timokhin
I give a brief overview of recent results from self-consistent modeling of electron-positrons cascades in pulsar polar caps. These results strongly suggest that the pulsar magnetos…

Current Flow and Pair Creation at Low Altitude in Rotation Powered Pulsars' Force-Free Magnetospheres: Space-Charge Limited Flow
A. N. Timokhin, J. Arons
(shortened) We report the results of an investigation of particle acceleration and electron-positron plasma generation at low altitude in the polar magnetic flux tubes of Rotation…

On plasma rotation and drifting subpulses in pulsars; using aligned pulsar B0826-34 as a voltmeter
J. van Leeuwen, A. N. Timokhin
We derive the exact drift velocity of plasma in the pulsar polar cap, in contrast to the order-of-magnitude expressions presented by Ruderman & Sutherland (1975) and generally used…
