The Filling of Neutron Star Magnetospheres with Plasma: Dynamics of the Motion of Electrons and Positrons

We consider the motion of charged particles in the vacuum magnetospheres of rotating neutron stars with a strong surface magnetic field, B>10^(12) G. The electrons and positrons falling into the magnetosphere or produced in it are shown to be captured by the force-free surface EB=0. Using the Dir...
