Abstract

The recent observations and theory indicates that the presence of infinite non-dipolar pulsars magnetic fields, it has become more and more clear that pulsars posses magnetic field structure, which are much more complicated than the simple assumption of dipolar pulsars magnetic fields. In this work, we analyze the presence of infinite non-dipolar components of the pulsar magnetic field, as derived from a recent model. We derived both the dipolar and infinite non-dipolar components of the field separately. We have approached the problem by applying post-Newtonian approximation, to find the infinite non-dipolar pulsar magnetic field. Among infinite non-dipolar components of pulsar’s magnetic field, we have both derived the expression for quadrapole and octupole component of the magnetic field and studied their implication.
