Electron and proton regions in the magnetosphere of a rotating charged neutron star with a strong magnetic field
Description
Within the framework of neutron star magnetosphere model an action of particle ejection from the star surface and that of electric charge of star upon shape of magnetosphere regions filled by charged particles is considered. In the case of aligned dipole magnetic field these regions have a shape of two polar caps separated by vacuum from equatorial belt which is filled up with protons and positrons. The shape of the equatorial belt and the cap are calculated. Radial size of the belt and that of the cap are of order of star radius. If magnetic dipole axis of the star is deviated from rotation axis, then a thin current string passing through electron caps arises. The current string represents a beam of relativistic electron. Parameters of the current string, characteristic frequency of radiowaves emitting by the string and direction diagram of radiation are estimated
