On the electrodynamics of a magnetized rotating accretor
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the current flow in an accreting rotating neutron star (X-ray pulsator) and propose that the active magnetosphere is limited by the Alfvèn surface. Formulae for the luminosity and torque due to currents circulating in the neutron star are given, and astrophysical consequences for systems like Her X-1 and LMXRB are shortly discussed.

Nonlinear stability of rotating two superposed magnetized fluids with the technique of the homotopy perturbation
In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....
متن کاملThe role of thermal conduction in magnetized viscous-resistive ADAFs
Observations of the hot gas, which is surrounding Sgr A* and a few other nearby galactic nuclei, imply that mean free paths of electron and proton are comparable to gas capture radius. So, hot accretion flows likely proceed under week collision conditions. As a result thermal conduction by ions has a considerable contribution in transfer of the realized heat in accretion mechanisms. We study a ...
متن کاملA rapidly rotating perfectly conducting sphere and the electrodynamics of a neutron star
. We discuss the electrodynamics of a rapidly rotating perfectly conducting magnetized sphere rotating with constant angular velocity about an axis which is inclined to the magnetic dipole field. An exact special relativistic solution is obtained for the electromagnetic field in the interior. The exterior solution is also determined and matched to the interior by using the appropriate boundar...

In this work, we carry out self –similar solutions of viscous-resistive accretion flows around a magnetized compact object. We consider an axi-symmetric, rotating, isothermal steady accretion flow, which contains a poloidal magnetic field of the central star. The dominant mechanism of energy dissipation is assumed to be the turbulence viscosity and magnetic diffusivity due to the magnetic field...
متن کاملDispersion Relations for Cold Plasmas around Reissner-Nordström Black Holes
We investigate the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) equations for cold plasma around the Reissner-Nordström black hole. Applying 3+1 spacetime split we linearize the perturbed equations for non-magnetized/magnetized plasma in both rotating and non-rotating background. By Fourier analyze we then derive dispersion relations and investigate the existence of waves with positive angu...
