Formation and appearance of pulsar-like white dwarfs

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2015-06-18 v1

Abstract

Accretion-driven spin-up of a magnetized white dwarf in a close binary system is discussed. We address a situation in which the magnetic field of the white dwarf is screening during the accretion phase and re-generating due to the field diffusion through the accreted material after it. We find this scenario to be effective for a formation of massive pulsar-like white dwarfs.
