Accretion torque on magnetized neutron stars
The conventional picture of disk accretion onto magnetized neutron stars has been challenged by the spin changes observed in a few X-ray pulsars, and by theoretical results from numerical simulations of diskmagnetized star interactions. These indicate possible accretion during the propeller regime and the spin-down torque increasing with the accretion rate. Here we present a model for the accre...
متن کاملAccretion onto Black Holes and Neutron Stars: Differences and Similarities
Accreting black holes and neutron stars at luminosities above 0.01 of the critical Eddington luminosity have a lot of similarities, but also drastic differences in their radiation and power density spectra. The efficiency of energy release due to accretion onto a rotating neutron star usually is higher than in the case of a black hole. The theory of the spreading layer on the surface of an accr...
متن کاملDynamically Comptonized Spectra from near Critical Accretion onto Neutron Stars
We investigate the effects of dynamical Comptonization on the emergent radiation spectrum produced by near critical accretion onto a neutron star. The flow dynamics and the transfer of radiation are self–consistently solved in the case of a spherically symmetric, “cold”, pure scattering flow, including general relativity. A sequence of models, each characterized by the value of the total observ...
متن کاملDisk accretion onto a magnetized star
The problem of interaction of the rotating magnetic field, frozen to a star, with a thin well conducting accretion disk is solved exactly. It is shown that a disk pushes the magnetic field lines towards a star, compressing the stellar dipole magnetic field. At the point of corotation, where the Keplerian rotation frequency coincides with the frequency of the stellar rotation, the loop of the el...
متن کاملMagnetized Iron Atmospheres for Neutron Stars Mohan
Using a Hartree-Fock formalism, we estimate energy levels and photon cross sections for atomic iron in magnetic Ðelds BD 1013 G. Computing ionization equilibrium and normal mode opacities with these data, we construct LTE neutron star model atmospheres at 5.5 \ log and compute emergent (Teff) \ 6.5 spectra. We examine the dependence of the emergent spectra on and B. We also show the spectral Te...
