Prospect: basic physics Let us consider what happens around the rotating neutron star in the vacuum space.

Method of Solution 5. Free emission of particles We iteratively solve the Maxwell equations and equation of motion with 1. Fields being axisymmetry, and steady: 2. Source magnetic field is dipole 3. the star is a perfect conductor, i.e., BC: 4. equation of motion with drag force 5. Free emission of particles 6. Pair creation if E//>Ec Radiation reaction Creation rate = factor x (E// /Ec) 7. Initial state: a star in vacuum

magnetic field pair creation Step -1 dipole no Step -2 Yes (low rate) Step -3 Modification by J (high rate)

Result(1) Gap Formation Step-1 Dipole field + no-pair creation Magnetic field lines electrons Light cylinder star positrons

Result(1) Gap Formation Step-1 Dipole field + no-pair creation The final state is static clouds with the gaps (Krause-Polstorf and Michel 1985). Light cylinder electrons Field-aligned Electric field Gap Gap star positrons

Result(2) Pair Creating Gap + wind Map of field-aligned electric field electrons Particle distribution 粒子分布 positrons Outer gap Outer Gap : pair creating region with E// Outflow (equal amount of electrons and positrons are lost from the magnetosphere. Both Gaps and wind are formed ! 9

Result(3) Pair Creating Gap + wind + magnetic field modification Map of E/B Magnetic field Diple field Open magnetic flux Dissipataive Current sheet E>B Udzdensky 2003

summary Strong charge separation by emf of the star produces the outer gaps. The gaps persist and create pairs providing the particle source of the pulsar wind. If pair creation rate is high, then magnetic field is opened and pairs flow out along the open magnetic flux. This is the pulsar wind. If pair creation rate is low, then the wind is moderate, and some particles circulate in the magnetosphere with strong radiation drag (high Lorentz factor).
