Norman Albers Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Why do pulsars pulse? Isn't the output beam coaxial to rotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 From what I remember no the output beam is not coaxial to rotation. The output beam is alligned with the magnetic pole of the pulsar and the magnetic pole doesn't coincide with the rotation axis, like here on earth the magnetic pole is not at the same place has the geographic pole.

Norman Albers Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Cool, Jacques. On earth that speaks to the separation to some extent of internal flows not identical to external ones, I would think. We speak of iron core flows that shift greatly, in fact.
