Abstract
It is our aim to simulate the nonstationary selfconsistent streaming of a relativistic plasma from the surface of a rotating neutron star. This will give new insights for pulsar models in general. Additionally we plan to simulate the counterstreaming of relativistic plasmas to model the generation of radiation in the magnetosphere of pulsars and in extragalactic Jets.The calculations will be done with a particle in cell code mainly written in Fortran 90.
