摘要:

吸积毫秒X射线天体(以下简称AMXPs,例如Wijnands & van der Klis 1998)的出现和时间变化强烈依赖于吸积速率、盘-磁层边界的有效粘性和有效磁扩散率。吸积率是决定恒星磁层半径位置的主要参数,对于给定的恒星磁场。我们介绍了吸积中子星的吸积率的函数的分类,并显示相应的阶段,从我们的全球三维磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟和我们的轴对称MHD模拟。我们讨论了预期的变化功能在每个阶段的吸积,周期性和准周期性(QPO)。我们的结论是,在很高和很低的吸积率的周期性可能会受到抑制。此外,当有序漏斗流吸积通过交换不稳定性被无序吸积所取代时,周期性可能消失。

英文摘要:

The appearance and time variability of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (hereafter AMXPs, e.g. Wijnands & van der Klis 1998) depends strongly on the accretion rate, the effective viscosity and the effective magnetic diffusivity of the disk-magnetosphere boundary. The accretion rate is the main parameter which determines the location of the magnetospheric radius of the star for a given stellar magnetic field. We introduce a classification of accreting neutron stars as a function of the accretion rate and show the corresponding stages obtained from our global 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations and from our axisymmetric MHD simulations. We discuss the expected variability features in each stage of accretion, both periodic and quasi-periodic (QPOs). We conclude that the periodicity may be suppressed at both very high and very low accretion rates. In addition the periodicity may disappear when ordered funnel flow accretion is replaced by disordered accretion through the interchange instability.
