Alfvén Wave Mode Conversion in Neutron Star Magnetospheres: A Semianalytic Approach
We write down the force-free electrodynamics equations in dipole coordinates and solve for axisymmetric normal modes corresponding to Alfvénic perturbations in the magnetosphere of a neutron star. We show that a single Alfvén wave propagating on dipole field lines spontaneously sources a fast magnet...
