Plasma Magnetosphere Formation Around Oscillating Magnetized Neutron Stars

TL;DR

This paper models the magnetosphere of oscillating neutron stars, suggesting that non-rotating stars may lack the plasma needed for radio emission, challenging existing pulsar death line theories.

Contribution

It introduces a model for the magnetosphere of oscillating neutron stars, highlighting the potential absence of plasma in non-rotating cases and implications for pulsar radio emission.

Findings

Non-rotating oscillating neutron stars may lack secondary plasma.

The magnetosphere may not support radio emission in these stars.

The model applies the pulsar death line concept to oscillating stars.

Abstract

The notion of death line of rotating pulsars is applied to model of oscillating neutron stars. It is shown that the magnetosphere of typical non-rotating oscillating stars may not contain secondary plasma to support the generation of radio emission in the region of open field lines of plasma magnetosphere.
