Scientific paper

It is shown that previous solutions, based on the frozen-in-flux approximation, for the distant magnetic field structure about such rotating axisymmetrically (dipole) magnetized objects as stars, pulsars, and galactic nuclei are internally inconsistent. It appears necessary to allow for an effective (nonuniform) rotation rate which differs from that of the star itself and which varies with magnetic latitude. Otherwise, the frozen-in-flux approximation must fail somewhere between the rotating star and the far zone. With this modification, the resultant equations seem self-consistent.
