Description

Steadily rotating nonaxisymmetric pulsar magnetospheres, with the effects of particle inertia fully incorporated are discussed. It is pointed out that the equations of motion for the component species of a relativistically streaming nondissipative plasma can be considerably simplified by using the steady-rotation constraint together with a fluxiod conservation law and Endean's Bernoulli-type integral
