The Angular Momentum of Accreting Neutron Stars
I review the rotation measurements of accreting neutron stars. Many of the highly magnetic (B > 10 G) accreting X-ray pulsars have been continuously observed with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) since April 1991. These observations show that the accretion torque exerted on many disk-fed accreting X-ray pulsars changes sign on a m...
متن کاملRelativistic Collapse of Rotating Supermassive Stars to Supermassive Black Holes
There is compelling evidence that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) exist. Yet the origin of these objects, or their seeds, is still unknown. We are performing general relativistic simulations of gravitational collapse to black holes in different scenarios to help reveal how SMBH seeds might arise in the universe. SMBHs with ∼ 10 M⊙ must have formed by z > 6, or within 10 yrs after the Big Bang,...
متن کاملSupermassive Stars: Fact or Fiction?
Supermassive black holes are now realized to exist in the centers of most galaxies. The recent discoveries of luminous quasars at redshifts higher than 6 require that these black holes were assembled already when the Universe was less than a billion years old. They might originate from the collapse of supermassive stars, a scenario which could ensure a sufficiently rapid formation. Supermassive...
متن کاملSupermassive Stars in Quasar Disks
We propose that supermassive stars may form in quasar accretion disks, and we discuss possible observational consequences. The structure and stability of very massive stars are reviewed. Because of high accretion rates, quasar disks are massive and the fringes of their optically luminous parts are prone to fragmentation. Starting from a few hundred solar masses, a dominant fragment will grow to...
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...
