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 of helium and metal-rich gas onto neutron stars and black holes at high luminosities
Ultraluminous X-ray sources fed by Wolf-Rayet star winds and X-ray bursters in ultracompact binaries with He or C white dwarfs have accretion disks, whose properties may significantly differ from those of pure H α-accretion disks. We have therefore included the dependence on charge number Z and mean molecular weights μe/I into the Shakura and Sunyaev (1973) scaling relations for the key paramet...
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 کاملTwo-dimensional Radiation-hydrodynamic Model for Supercritical Disk Accretion Flows onto Neutron Stars
We performed two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of supercritical accretion flows around neutron stars (NSs). In contrast with the accretion flows onto black holes (BHs), we find that the shell-shaped high-density regions form around the NSs, since the radiation force is enhanced in the innermost regions. The enhanced radiation force drives strong outflows above and below the dis...
