Time-dependent Force-free Pulsar Magnetospheres: Axisymmetric and Oblique Rotators
TL;DR: In this article, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach was proposed to handle spontaneous formation of current sheets in the magnetosphere of a star. But this method is not suitable for the case of a single star.
Time-dependent force-free pulsar magnetospheres: axisymmetric and oblique rotators
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach was proposed to handle spontaneous formation of current sheets in the magnetosphere of pulsar magnetospheres in both aligned and oblique magnetic geometries.

The Axisymmetric Pulsar Magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the axisymmetric force-free magnetosphere of an aligned rotating magnetic dipole has been studied for the case that there exists a sufficiently large charge density to satisfy the ideal MHD condition, E B = 0, everywhere.
