Anomalous X-ray pulsars: Persistent States with Fallback Disks
Unal Ertan, M. Ali Alpar, M. Hakan Erkut +2
The anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 was recently detected in the mid infrared bands with the SPITZER Observatory (Wang, Chakrabarty & Kaplan 2006). This observation is the first…
The Anomalous X-Ray Pulsar 4U 0142+61: A Neutron Star with a Gaseous Fallback Disk
U. Ertan, M. H. Erkut, K. Y. Eksi +1
The recent detection of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61 in the mid-infrared with the {\it Spitzer} observatory by Z.Wang and coworkers constitutes the first instance of…
Where Are All The Fallback Disks? Constraints on Propeller Systems
K. Y. Eksi, L. Hernquist, R. Narayan
Fallback disks are expected to form around new-born neutron stars following a supernova explosion. In almost all cases, the disk will pass through a propeller stage. If the neutron…
Disks Surviving the Radiation Pressure of Radio Pulsars
K. Y. Eksi, M. A. Alpar
The radiation pressure of a radio pulsar does not necessarily disrupt a surrounding disk. The position of the inner radius of a thin disk around a neutron star can be estimated by…
Can Thin Disks Produce Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars?
K. Yavuz Eksi, M. Ali Alpar
We investigate whether young neutron stars with fall-back disks can produce Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs) within timescales indicated by the ages of associated supernova remnants.…
