Description

The problem of modelling a rotating neutron star magnetosphere is discussed. Attention is drawn to the possibility of qualitative modelling of this cosmic object without conforming to the similarity laws. Two models, one simulating an aligned magnetic rotator and the other an oblique rotator, are suggested. Preliminary results from such modelling of pulsar magnetospheres in the oblique rotator case are reported
