Modeling pulse profiles of accreting millisecond pulsars
Juri Poutanen
I review the basic observational properties of accreting millisecond pulsars that are important for understanding the physics involved in formation of their pulse profiles. I then…
Orbital and superorbital variability and their coupling in X-ray binaries
Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Juri Poutanen, Askar Ibragimov +2
We review X-ray flux modulation from X-ray binaries on time scales corresponding to the orbital period and those at longer time scales (so called superorbital). Those modulations p…
On the origin of spectral states in accreting black holes
Juri Poutanen, Indrek Vurm
The origin of dramatically different electron distributions responsible for Comptonization in black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) in their various states is discussed. We solve the co…
Influence of Compton scattering on the broad-band X-ray spectra of intermediate polars
V. Suleimanov, J. Poutanen, M. Falanga +1
The majority of cataclysmic variables observed in the hard X-ray energy band are intermediate polars where the magnetic field is strong enough to channel the accreting matter to th…
Electron thermalization and photon emission from magnetized compact sources
Indrek Vurm, Juri Poutanen
We present detailed calculations of the electron thermalization by synchrotron self-absorption accounting for cooling by Compton scattering. For the first time, we solve coupled ki…
Boundary layer on the surface of a neutron star
N. Babkovskaia, A. Brandenburg, J. Poutanen
In an attempt to model the accretion onto a neutron star in low-mass X-ray binaries, we present two-dimensional hydrodynamical models of the gas flow in close vicinity of the stell…
