Ab-initio pulsar magnetosphere: three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of axisymmetric pulsars
Alexander Philippov, Anatoly Spitkovsky
We perform first-principles relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of aligned pulsar magnetosphere. We allow free escape of particles from the surface of a neutron star and cont…
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…
Analysis of Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Eclipsing Binary DI Herculis
Alexander A. Philippov, Roman R. Rafikov
Eclipsing binary DI Herculis (DI Her) is known to exhibit anomalously slow apsidal precession, below the rate predicted by the general relativity. Recent measurements of the Rossit…
