Electrostatic drift vortices in a hot rotating strongly magnetized electron-positron pulsar plasma

Abstract

Electrostatic drift wave in a hot rotating and strongly magnetized electron-positron pulsar plasma is considered. Using relativistic two fluid equations a pair of coupled nonlinear equations is derived. It is shown that the wave can propagate in the form of two-dimensional dipolar vortices at ultrarelativistic temperature (T much greater than mc{sup 2}) of the plasma. The latter may affect the energy transport in the hot plasma, which can lead to a new turbulent state in the pulsar magnetosphere. (author). 16 refs.
