... Suppose that an accreting plasma penetrates the light cylinder and is stopped by the magnetic field   at a certain distance given by the balance between the static magnetic field pressure and the plasma pressure. ... Otherwise, a centrifugal barrier emerges and the rapidly rotating magnetic field impedes the accretion of matter (Schwartzman, 1970a[ 173 ]; Pringle and Rees, 1972[ 164 ]; Davidson and Ostriker, 1973[ 38 ]; Lamb et al. ...

... Свет: остановка по требованию? ... Более мощное "управляющее поле" (свет с правой циркулярной поляризацией) делает возможным распространение в среде на порядок более слабого "сигнального поля" (упоминавшийся выше импульс, свет с левой циркулярной поляризацией), скорость распространения "сигнального импульса" при этом существенно уменьшается. ... Когда часть импульса (I) уже покинула кювету, управляющее поле выключают и из кюветы ничего не выходит до тех пор, пока управляющее поле не включат вновь. ...
