Snapshot of the striped wind simulation zoomed in on the innermost regions (r< 3.5 RLC) at time t = 16.6 of rotation periods in run R3_S250_K10. From top left to bottom right: the plasma multiplicity n/nGJ in log 10 scale, the toroidal magnetic field (r/r)Bφ/B, the poloidal current density (r/r)2Jθ normalized to the fiducial Goldreich-Julian current density JGJ ≈ ΩB/ 2π, and the dissipation rate of the electromagnetic energy (E·J) normalized by (r/r)3(BJGJ). Solid lines show the magnetic field lines. They are omitted in the bottom panels for clarity. Radii are in units of the light-cylinder radius (shown here by a dashed circle). The magenta arrow indicates the direction of the north magnetic pole (i.e., φ = Ωt).
