Periodic solutions in a model of pulsar rotation (Q1102768): Difference between revisions

A rotating rigid body with ellipsoidal cavity filled with magnetic fluid is considered as a pulsar model. Dynamical equations for the pulsar model are derived and investigated, certain integrable cases are indicated. Three-parameter sets of periodic solutions integrable in terms of elliptic functions of the time variable are obtained. A formula is derived for the period of rotation and magneto-rotational oscillations of the pulsar.
