A New Two-Fluid Radiation-Hydrodynamical Model for X-ray Pulsar Accretion Columns
Brent F. West, Kenneth D. Wolfram, Peter A. Becker
Previous research centered on the hydrodynamics in X-ray pulsar accretion columns has largely focused on the single-fluid model, in which the super-Eddington luminosity inside the…
Dynamical and Radiative Properties of X-ray Pulsar Accretion Columns: Phase-Averaged Spectra
Brent F. West, Kenneth D. Wolfram, Peter A. Becker
The availability of the unprecedented spectral resolution provided by modern X-ray observatories is opening up new areas for study involving the coupled formation of the continuum…
Understanding the Last Mile - Physics of the Accretion Column
Peter Kretschmar, Peter A. Becker, Dipankar Bhattacharya +17
Accreting X-ray pulsars are among the best observed objects of X-ray astronomy with a rich data set of observational phenomena in the spectral and timing domain. While the general…
