Pulsar rentgenowski


The pulsar's behavior, the magnetic poles do not lie on the same axis as the axis of rotation of the star. No X-ray pulsar accompanying star or accretion disk is indicated in the diagram.

X-ray pulsar - a type of X-ray double system consisting of a very strong magnetic field and a stellar star.

In such a double system, the main-star material is collected around the neutron star in the accretion disk, but is attracted to the surface of the neutron star only to magnetic poles. Columnar accretion, where falling matter produces X-rays, which are emitted in narrow beams along the axis of the magnetic poles. The magnetic poles of the neutron star do not lie on the same axis as the axis of rotation of the star, and the rapidly rotating star sends two X-ray beams like a lighthouse.

The X-ray pulsar rotation can range from 1.6 milliseconds to over ten minutes. Unlike ordinary radio pulsars that slow down as you lose energy, some X-ray pulsars accelerate as you age. Most X-ray pulsars have a very stable rotation period, but there are also objects that behave very chaotic, slowing down and accelerating.
