Scientific paper

A study is presented of steadily rotating, neutron star magnetospheres whose Lorenz force is balanced by inertia, under the assumption that charged particles leave the star at nonrelativistic speeds and that any returning are decelerated so as to be nonrelativistic on impact. No assumptions are made, however, as to where in the magnetosphere the substantial deceleration occurs or the degree of charge separation. It is found that the main qualitative features of flow dynamics for the general oblique rotator can be understood by regarding the poloidal speed as a parameter for the azimuthal speed and Lorentz factor of a species, and then considering flow curves that represent variations along each poloidal streamline.
