  • Authors: Alexander A. Philippov, Anatoly Spitkovsky, and Benoit Cerutti

2015 The Astrophysical Journal Letters 801 L19.

  • Provider: AAS Journals

Caption: Figure 3.

Panels (a)–(d): same as Figure 1, but for the χ = 60° pulsar magnetosphere with self-consistent pair formation. (e): 3D magnetosphere structure: thick red lines show magnetic field lines, the green arrow shows the magnetic axis. Color in planes shows the toroidal field ﹩{{B}_{\varphi }}﹩. (f) Color shows the volume rendering of total current ﹩|J|﹩. Color in the plane shows ﹩|J|﹩.
