Acceleration of charged particles in rotating magnetized star
read the original abstract
Charged particles at the crust of compact stars may be ejected and accelerated by the electric field generated due to the rotation of the magnetized star. For neutron or hybrid stars, the negatively charged particles are usually electrons, and the positively charged particles are mainly protons and Iron. Whereas the existence of strange stars also includes the possibility of ejection of strangelets from the star surface. The flux of such strangelets emitted from all known pulsars is in the range of $10^9-10^{10}$ GeV. Therefore, such massive strangelets can be one of the candidates for the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays that have still eluded us. Our model proposes a possible origin of these ultra high energy cosmic rays.
