| Popis: | An explanation of the recently discovered 7 s pulsations from the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754 is presented. It is assumed that the real spin period of this source is $\approx1$ s, whereas the observed spin-modulation is caused by the presence of a nearly transverse, very low frequency drift waves in the pulsar magnetosphere. It is supposed that the period of the drift wave is equal to a recently observed one. The simulated lightcurve is plotted, the angular parameters are defined and the value of the pulsed fraction of only $\sim 1.2%$ is explained. Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures |
