Torque Reversal in Accretion-Powered X-ray Pulsars
Insu Yi, J. Craig Wheeler, Ethan T. Vishniac
Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars 4U 1626-67, GX 1+4, and OAO 1657-415 have recently shown puzzling torque reversals. These reversals are characterized by short time scales, on the o…

The Structure of Cooling Fronts in Accretion Disks
Ethan T. Vishniac
Recent work has shown that the speed of the cooling front in soft X-ray transients may be an important clue in understanding the nature of accretion disk viscosity. In a previous p…
