Modeling of Disk-Star Interaction: Different Regimes of Accretion and Variability
Marina M. Romanova, Akshay K. Kulkarni, Min Long +1
The appearance and time variability of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (hereafter AMXPs, e.g. Wijnands & van der Klis 1998) depends strongly on the accretion rate, the effectiv…
MHD simulations of disk-star interaction
M. M. Romanova, M. Long, A. K. Kulkarni +4
We discuss a number of topics relevant to disk-magnetosphere interaction and how numerical simulations illuminate them. The topics include: (1) disk-magnetosphere interaction and t…
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…
Accretion to Stars with Non-dipole Magnetic Fields
M. Long, M. M. Romanova, R. V. E. Lovelace
Disc accretion to a rotating star with a non-dipole magnetic field is investigated for the first time in full three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. We inves…
Locking of the Rotation of Disk-Accreting Magnetized Stars
M. Long, M. M. Romanova, R. V. E Lovelace
We investigate the rotational equilibrium state of a disk accreting magnetized stars using axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. In this ``locked'' state, the spin-up…
