The spin evolution of a strongly magnetic star due to interaction with an accretion disc.
CAMPBELL C.G.
Abstract (from CDS):
The neutron star disc shows significant local thickening in a region just beyond the corotation radius and this becomes large as the spin equilibrium state is approached. It is suggested that this may lead to some mass loss from this region, resulting in the formation of a local centrifugally accelerated wind. The perturbation to the inner accretion rate and disc disruption radius is shown to change the equilibrium state and cause a short time-scale torque reversal on the star, as is observed in some X-ray binary pulsars. The effect is much weaker for an accreting white dwarf due to the relatively small values of density and temperature in the region beyond the corotation radius.
