Motion of the hot spot and spin torque in accreting millisecond pulsars
Alessandro Patruno
The primary concern of this contribution is that accreting millisecond pulsars (AMXPs) show a much larger amount of information than is commonly believed. The three questions to be…
Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the low-luminosity X-ray pulsators SAX J1324.4-6200 and SAX J1452.8-5949
Ramanpreet Kaur, Rudy Wijnands, Alessandro Patruno +5
We present results from our Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of two low-luminosity X-ray pulsators SAX J1324.4-6200 and SAX J1452.8-5949 which have spin-periods of 172 s and 437…
A New Class of Radio Pulsars - Back in 1982
M. Ali Alpar
Basic ideas about the torques on the neutron star and the existence of an equilibrium rotation period followed from the recognition that most X-ray binaries contain accretion power…
Coherence of burst oscillations and accretion-powered pulsations in the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338
Anna L. Watts, Alessandro Patruno, Michiel van der Klis
X-ray timing of the accretion-powered pulsations during the 2003 outburst of the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338 has revealed variation in the pulse time of arrival resi…
Weighing the black holes in ultraluminous X-ray sources through timing
P. Casella, G. Ponti, A. Patruno +3
We describe a new method to estimate the mass of black holes in Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs). The method is based on the recently discovered ``variability plane'', populated…
Three-dimensional Simulations of Accretion to Stars with Complex Magnetic Fields
M. Long, M. M. Romanova, R. V. E. Lovelace
Disk accretion to rotating stars with complex magnetic fields is investigated using full three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The studied magnetic configuration…
