Compton scattering S-matrix and cross section in strong magnetic field
Alexander A. Mushtukov, Dmitrij I. Nagirner, Juri Poutanen
Compton scattering of polarized radiation in a strong magnetic field is considered. The recipe for calculation of the scattering matrix elements, the differential and total cross s…
Positive correlation between the cyclotron line energy and luminosity in sub-critical X-ray pulsars: Doppler effect in the accretion channel
Alexander A. Mushtukov, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Alexander V. Serber +2
Cyclotron resonance scattering features observed in the spectra of some X-ray pulsars show significant changes of the line centroid energy with the pulsar luminosity. Whereas for b…
Propeller effect in action in the ultraluminous accreting magnetar M82 X-2
Sergey S. Tsygankov, Alexander A. Mushtukov, Valery F. Suleimanov +1
We present here the first convincing observational manifestation of a magnetar-like magnetic field in an accreting neutron star in binary system - the first pulsating ultra-luminou…
On the maximum accretion luminosity of magnetized neutron stars: connecting X-ray pulsars and ultraluminous X-ray sources
Alexander A. Mushtukov, Valery F. Suleimanov, Sergey S. Tsygankov +1
We study properties of luminous X-ray pulsars using a simplified model of the accretion column. The maximal possible luminosity is calculated as a function of the neutron star (NS)…
