Radiation pressure instability: from heart-beat states in black hole binary systems to Quasars and Changing-Look AGN
Agnieszka Janiuk, Bozena Czerny, Pulkit Ojha +2
Radiation-pressure instability was identified soon after the seminal classical accretion disk models of Shakura-Sunyaev and Novikov-Thorne, yet its full implications remain an acti…

Long-term evolution of Sco X-1: implications for the current spin frequency and ellipticity of the neutron star
Abhijnan Kar, Pulkit Ojha, Sudip Bhattacharyya
Sco X-1 is the brightest observed extra-solar X-ray source, which is a neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB), and is thought to have a strong potential for continuous grav…

Long-term evolution of spin and other properties of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries: implications for millisecond X-ray pulsars
Abhijnan Kar, Pulkit Ojha, Sudip Bhattacharyya
A neutron star (NS) accreting matter from a companion star in a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system can spin up to become a millisecond pulsar (MSP). Properties of many such MSP sy…
