A note on electromagnetic fields of a slowly rotating magnetized neutron star

Using the electromagnetic fields of an aligned rotating magnetic dipole in a Schwarzschild background, the fields and the surface and bulk charge densities had been computed for an obliquely rotating dipole by De Paolis, Qadir and Tarman (Nuovo Cimento B, 114 (1999) 11). Rezzolla, Ahmedov and Miller (Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc., 322 (2001) 723) had argued that the analysis was not valid as the Kerr background should have been used. As such the charge density and fields obtained earlier needed to be recomputed using their analysis. This suggestion has been followed here
