A region of enhanced dissipation replaces the separatrix.
Potential to calculate pulsar lightcurves with improved numerical schemes.
Abstract
Dissipative axisymmetric pulsar magnetosphere is calculated by a direct numerical simulation of the Strong-Field Electrodynamics equations. The magnetic separatrix disappears, it is replaced by a region of enhanced dissipation. With a better numerical scheme, one should be able to calculate the bolometric lightcurves for a given conductivity.
