Pulsars, Mass Loss And Stellar Winds, Jets, Outflows And Bipolar Flows

Scientific paper

Time dependent numerical simulations show that the anisotropy of the energy flux and a weak magnetization of the pulsar winds result into formation of the most spectacular features in the central part of the plerions, namely the X-ray tore and jet-like outflows. We present the results of such simulations performed by our group. One of the most important conclusions following from this study is the fact that these structures are a direct observational proof that the rotational losses of the rotation powered pulsar are not due to magnetodipole radiation but instead they are due to magnetic breaking of a relativistic wind ejected by the pulsars. In this regard we discuss the direct physical consequences from this conclusion for the pulsar physics.
