Scientific paper

We study pulsar magnetospheres that deviate from the Ideal MHD condition employed in their modeling over the past decade. Non-ideal MHD allows for electric field components parallel to the pulsar magnetic field, providing thus the possibility for particle acceleration and radiation production, something that was by default absent in Ideal MHD treatments. We modified our 3D force-free Ideal MHD numerical code by implementing a variety of prescriptions for the parallel electric field. This allows us to compute electric fields, current and charge densities that will subsequently be incorporated in models of pulsar radiation to provide self-consistent magnetospheric models and associated photon spectra.
