Neutron-star accretion in a stellar wind - Model for a pulsed X-ray source.
Abstract
Description of a relatively simple stellar-wind-driven accretion model that appears to satisfactorily account for many of the observed features of the pulsing X-ray sources Cen X-3 and Her X-1. A rotating magnetized neutron star orbits a more massive slightly evolved star and accretes mass from the stellar wind emanating from that star. Some of the implications of the model are discussed.
