abstract = {Many authors have considered a gravitational origin of the magnetic field of celestial bodies. Especially, the so-called Wilson-Blackett formula has been investigated, both theoretically and observationally. It appeared possible to deduce this formula from general relativity, e. g., by application of a special interpretation of gravito-magnetic theory. More consequences of the latter theory for pulsars will be considered in this work.
As an example, the standard quadrupolar charge density for pulsars can be deduced from the gravito-magnetic
theory. Moreover, a new magnetic dipole moment from electromagnetic origin is
found, generated in the basic magnetic field from gravito-magnetic origin.
In general, for thirteen accreting, slowly rotating, binary pulsars the agreement between the observed magnetic field and the gravito-magnetic prediction is better than between the observed value and the value from the standard magnetic dipole radiation model.

Many authors have considered a gravitational origin of the magnetic field of celestial bodies. Especially, the so-called Wilson-Blackett formula has been investigated, both theoretically and observationally. It appeared possible to deduce this formula from general relativity, e. g., by application of a special interpretation of gravito-magnetic theory. More consequences of the latter theory for pulsars will be considered in this work.
As an example, the standard quadrupolar charge density for pulsars can be deduced from the gravito-magnetic
theory. Moreover, a new magnetic dipole moment from electromagnetic origin is
found, generated in the basic magnetic field from gravito-magnetic origin.
