摘要
A simple analytical model of the particle-dominated outflow with zero total electric current from central rotating objects is considered. 'Exact' solutions for both relativistic and non-relativistic cases demonstrate the decollimation of the magnetic field lines in the region of the current closure. Such a decollimation can explain the presence of an energetic equatorial wind observed in many compact objects.
