PULSAR MAGNETOSPHERES: BEYOND THE FLAT SPACETIME DIPOLE

Most studies of the pulsar magnetosphere have assumed a pure magnetic dipole in flat spacetime. However, recent work suggests that the effects of general relativity are in fact of vital importance and that realistic pulsar magnetic fields will have a significant nondipolar component. We introduce a...
