Poyting flux luminosity of solutions with realistic pair formation in units of ﹩{{L}_{0}}={{\mu }^{2}}{\Omega }_{*}^{4}/{{c}^{3}}﹩ as a function of the inclination angle (red triangles), measured at the stellar surface. The error bars correspond to the dissipated fraction of the Poynting flux within 2RLC. Blue points show the results of PIC simulations with abundant pair formation (Section 3), and the blue curve shows the prediction of the MHD model.
