Three-dimensional Kinetic Pulsar Magnetosphere Models: Connecting to Gamma-Ray Observations
Three-dimensional Kinetic Pulsar Magnetosphere Models: Connecting to Gamma-Ray Observations
We present 3D global kinetic pulsar magnetosphere models, where the charged particle trajectories and the corresponding electromagnetic fields are treated self-consistently. For our study, we have developed a cartesian 3D relativistic particle-in-cell code that incorporates the radiation reaction forces. We describe our code and discuss the related technical issues, treatments, …
