Magnetic Braking and the Oblique Rotator Model
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
This work investigates the dynamical evolution of a rotating magnetic star which drives a stellar wind. The basic magnetic field of the star is supposed symmetric about an axis, which is inclined at an angle X to the rotation axis k (Figure 1). We adopt the familiar equations of an inviscid perfectly conducting gas. In a steady state, the velocity as seen in a frame rotating with the star is taken as
