DESCRIPTION: A DLIC of a fast spin-up for a combination of three multipoles: l = 1, 3, and 4, with amplitides of one, two, and two, respectively. The red curve in the top figure shows the distribution of surface charge on the sphere. If the red curve is greater than the radius of the sphere the surface charge is positive, and negative if it is less than the radius of the sphere. We also show the final field configuation in the top figure after spin-up. One frame of the movie of the spin up is shown in the bottom figure. Click on either figure to see the movie.
The red zones correspond to fields generated when the sphere is in the process of spinning up, the darker blue zones are the radiation fields generated while the sphere is at constant speed, and the lighter blue zones are the static fields.
This is for a fast smooth polynomial spin-up.
