Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Exploring the Dynamics of Supercritical Accretion onto the Strongly Magnetized Neutron Stars
Lizhong Zhang
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars are neutron stars that accrete matter from a companion star in a binary system, which exhibit fascinating dynamics. The strong magnetic field of the neutron star guides material onto the magnetic poles, which are...
