Probing Accretion Geometries of X-ray Pulsars using Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Features
Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Features (CRSFs) appear as absorption-like features in the hard X-ray spectra of accretion-powered pulsars and provide a direct measure of neutron star magnetic fields. Their correlation or ... -
A Study of the X-ray Variability and Accretion Mechanism in High Mass X-ray Binary Pulsars
High-mass X-ray binaries are among the most luminous X-ray sources. They host an accreting compact object (more often a neutron star) and a massive (M > 10 M⊙) donor star. They are among the earliest discovered X-ray sources ... -
Unraveling certain high energy astrophysical features based on advective accretion disks
The presence of an accretion disk around a neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH) is mainly responsible for the observed X-rays from the night sky. NS or BH is a part of the binary systems, and matter flows from a companion ...
