Magnetic Fields of Compact Objects in Close X-Ray Binary Systems

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2014-09-09 v1 High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena

Abstract

X-ray binary systems are very popular objects for astrophysical investigations. Compact objects in these systems are neutron stars, white dwarfs and black holes. Neutron stars and white dwarfs can have intrinsic magnetic fields. There is well known, famous theorem about absence of intrinsic magnetic fields of black holes. But magnetic field can exist in the accretion disk around a black hole. We present here the real estimates of the magnetic field strength at the radius of innermost stable orbit in an accretion disk of stellar mass black holes.
