A phenomenological model of the magnetic field re-emergence in magnetars and discrepancy between the kinematic and characteristic ages

Rostislav D. Nikandrov, Sergei B. Popov

Robust age measurements for isolated neutron stars (NSs) are not easily available. That is why, often the characteristic age is used as a proxy. Here …

Disc accretion onto a binary black hole in a hierarchical triple system as an origin of the most luminous hyper-soft sources

Sergei B. Popov, Galina V. Lipunova

We propose that the recently discovered luminous hypersoft X-ray sources can be explained by accretion onto a binary black hole in a hierarchical triple system. For black hole mass…

Natal kicks of compact objects

Sergei Popov, Bernhard Müller, Ilya Mandel

When compact objects - neutron stars and black holes - are formed in a supernova explosion, they may receive a high velocity at formation, which may reach or even exceed 1000 km s-…

Indication of rapid magnetic field decay in X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Star RX J0720.4-3125

Andrei P. Igoshev, Sergei B. Popov

Magnetic field evolution of neutron stars is a long-standing debate. The rate of magnetic field decay for isolated, non-accreting neutron stars can be quantified by measuring the n…

Probing the propeller regime with wide neutron star binaries

M. D. Afonina, S. B. Popov

We model the duration of the propeller stage in wide binary systems with neutron stars and calculate the time of accretion onset for various propeller models. We apply our modeling…

Probing the Propeller Regime with Symbiotic X-ray Binaries

M. D. Afonina, S. B. Popov

At the moment, there are two neutron star X-ray binaries with massive red supergiants as donors. De et al. (2023) proposed that the system SWIFT J0850.8-4219 contains a neutron sta…
