Magnetic field evolution of accreting neutron stars
We study the evolution of the magnetic field of an accreting neutron star in the frozen field and incompressible fluid approximations. The plasma is accreted onto two polar caps and squeezes some of the surface material of the neutron star toward the equator. The frozen B-field is then pushed toward the equator and is eventually buried there. The magnetic field within the polar cap areas, which...
متن کاملTiming evolution of accreting strange stars
It has been suggested that the QPO phenomenon in LMXB’s could be explained when the central compact object is a strange star. In this work we investigate within a standard model for disk accretion whether the observed clustering of spin frequencies in a narrow band is in accordance with this hypothesis. We show that frequency clustering occurs for accreting strange stars when typical values of ...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation Evolution of Accreting Neutron Stars
The gravitational-wave and accretion driven evolution of neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries and similar systems is analyzed, while the amplitude of the radiating perturbation (here assumed to be an r-mode) remains small. If most of the star is superfluid, with (temperature independent) mutual friction dominating the ordinary (temperature dependent) shear viscosity, the amplitude of the mo...
متن کاملThermonuclear Burning on Rapidly Accreting Neutron Stars
Neutron stars in mass-transferring binaries are accreting the hydrogen and helium rich matter from the surfaces of their companions. This article explains the physics associated with how that material eventually fuses to form heavier nuclei and the observations of the time dependent phenomena (such as Type I X-ray bursts) associated with the thermally unstable thermonuclear reactions. The major...
متن کاملNeutrinos from Accreting Neutron Stars
The magnetospheres of accreting neutron stars develop electrostatic gaps with huge potential drops. Protons and ions, accelerated in these gaps along the dipolar magnetic field lines to energies greater than 100 TeV, can impact onto a surrounding accretion disc. A proton-induced cascade so develops, and ν-emission is produced from charged pion decays. Using GEANT4, a computer code that tracks p...
