High‐Altitude Particle Acceleration and Radiation in Pulsar Slot Gaps
High‐Altitude Particle Acceleration and Radiation in Pulsar Slot Gaps
We explore the pulsar slot gap (SG) electrodynamics up to very high altitudes, where for most relatively rapidly rotating pulsars both the standard small-angle approximation and the assumption that the magnetic field lines are ideal streamlines break down. We address the importance of the electrodynamic conditions at the SG boundaries …
