oblique rotator model
  مدل ِ چرخنده ِ یکور  
model-e carxande-ye yekvar
Fr.: modèle de rotateur oblique  

A stellar model in which the rotation axis is tilted relative to the magnetic dipole axis. As the star rotates, observable quantities (e.g. the line-of-sight component of the magnetic field, stellar brightness, emission lines) are modulated according to the rotational period. Such a model was first put forward by D. Stibbs (1950, MNRAS, 110, 395).
