Accreting pulsars power relativistic jets, and display a complex spin phenomenology. These behaviours may be closely related to the large-scale configuration of the star's magnetic field, shaped by its interaction with the surrounding…
The guiding center formalism is employed to analyze the motion of a charged relativistic particle in an inhomogeneous magnetic field, subject to magnetic mirroring and energy loss due to cooling. The governing equation for the evolution of…
We present the first results of a global axisymmetric simulation of accretion onto rotating magnetized stars from a turbulent, MRI-driven disk. The angular momentum is transported outward by the magnetic stress of the turbulent flow with a…
We report results from calculations investigating stationary magnetic field configurations in accretion discs around magnetised neutron stars. Our strategy is to start with a very simple model and then progressively improve it providing…
Accretion of matter onto a magnetic, rotating object can be strongly affected by the interaction with its magnetic field. This occurs in a variety of astrophysical settings involving young stellar objects, white dwarfs, and neutron stars.…
We investigated the structure of the spherically symmetric accretion flows through the standing shock wave onto the proto-neutron star in the post-bounce phase of the collapse-driven supernova. We assume that the accretion flow is in a…
Recent studies show that accretion flows around weakly magnetic Neutron Stars undergo multiple shocks, before reaching the surface of the star, which contribute to the spectral and timing variabilities observed in the X-Rays. Here, we…
Flow of matter onto strongly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries proceeds through accretion funnels that roughly follow geometry of the magnetic field. X-rays originate near surface of the neutron star, and it may happen that the…
An approximate analytic one-dimensional model is constructed, for the accretion disk boundary layer surrounding a neutron star whose low magnetic field does not affect the process of accretion. A high luminosity model is considered, with…
A weakly magnetized neutron star (NS) undergoing disk accretion should release about a half of its power in a compact region known as the accretion boundary layer. Latitudinal spread of the accreted matter and efficient radiative cooling…
We performed the first numerical simulations of magnetorotational instability from a sub-magnetar-class seed magnetic field in core collapse supernovae. As a result of axisymmetric ideal MHD simulations, we found that the magnetic field is…
In this paper we present the results of time-dependent simulations of dipolar axisymmetric magnetospheres of neutron stars carried out both within the framework of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics and within the framework of resistive…
A recent joint XMM-Newton/Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observation of the accreting neutron star Cen X-4 ($L_{\rm X}\sim10^{33}{\rm~erg~s}^{-1}$) revealed a hard power-law component ($\Gamma\sim1$-$1.5$) with a relatively…
We use Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to study viscous accretion flows around a weakly magnetic neutron star. We show the formation of multiple ``boundary" layers in presence of both cooling and viscosity. We find that with the…
We perform 2D and 3D kinetic simulations of reconnection-mediated turbulent flares in a magnetized electron-positron plasma, with weak and strong radiative cooling. Such flares can be generated around neutron stars and accreting black…
New simulations demonstrate that low-mode, nonradial hydrodynamic instabilities of the accretion shock help starting hot-bubble convection in supernovae and thus support explosions by the neutrino-heating mechanism. The prevailing…
The accumulation of electrons and positrons in the vacuum magnetosphere of a neutron star with a surface magnetic field of B~10^12 G is considered. It is shown that particles created in the magnetosphere or falling into the magnetosphere…
We study how the matter dispersed when a supermassive black hole tidally disrupts a star joins an accretion flow. Combining a relativistic hydrodynamic simulation of the stellar disruption with a relativistic hydrodynamics simulation of the…
We numerically model evolution of magnetic fields inside a neutron star under the influence of ambipolar diffusion in the weak-coupling mode in the one-fluid MHD approximation. Our simulations are three-dimensional and performed in…
The magnetic field associated with neutron stars is generally believed to be threaded inside the star. In the presence of a magnetic field, the plasma present in the interior of the star goes through several processes that lead to magnetic…
