Abstract
Pulsar "standard model" of rotating magnetized conducting sphere surrounded by plasma is generalized in its essential parts for the case of oscillating star. Goldreich-Julian charge density, electromagnetic energy losses as well as polar cap scenario of particle accelerations are considered. Despite similarities, there are substantial differences between magnetospheres of rotating and oscillating stars. Distortion of particle acceleration mechanism in radiopulsars by neutron star oscillations, excited by a strong glitch, for example, is discussed.
