Abstract

Numerical calculations of the electron cap shape of a rapidly rotating neutron star with a strong magnetic field have been provided. It is supposed that the magnetic dipole axis is aligned, and ejection of positive charged particles from the star's surface absent. The total charge of the star has been calculated. Estimation of the character of charged-particle motion in the electromagnetic field of the star has been obtained. It is shown that two streams of charged particles escape from the star surface. The electron stream moves along the magnetic axis. The electron stream is enveloped by proton-positron stream, which is generated by returning hard electrons accelerated by electromagnetic field of the star.
