Sentence examples for accretion discs from inspiring English sources

By then, the outer layers of its companion star have been completely torn away and the accretion disc has vanished: millisecond pulsars do not have accretion discs.

Progress in understanding the theoretical models has come from MHD simulations of accretion discs around rotating magnetized stars as discussed below.

The inward advection of matter and large-scale magnetic field in accretion discs with different values has been studied by Dyda et al. ([2013]).

The Polarized Gamma-ray Explorer (PoGOLite) is a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure polarization in the energy range 25 80 keV from many classes of astronomical objects, including pulsars, accretion discs and astrophysical jets.

"Guillaume's Ph.D. project... was really rather difficult, as his co-supervisor in Paris... had him doing theoretical and numerical modelling of the structure of accretion discs, whereas with me he was working with x-ray satellite observations of variable x-ray sources in a nearby galaxy," Charles writes in an e-mail.

X-ray radiation should be emitted by the accretion discs of Type Ia supernova progenitors.

As expected, the whip is the accretion disc, which spins an X-ray pulsar rather as a whirlpool might spin a raft.

Since the inner part of the accretion disc orbits faster than once a second, as the hot gas ploughs into the neutron star's surface, it torques the star up to ever higher speeds.Thus it is that a neutron star in a binary star system gets to spend its retirement years as a millisecond radio pulsar.

The so-called "accretion disc" so formed is far beyond white-hot it is hot enough to emit a torrent of X-rays.In general, these seem to come from a steady point white-hot itat through an X-ray telescope.

compact object spin periods, orbital periods, accretion disc precession, and companion star properties.

Conical winds are generated when stellar magnetic flux is bunched up by the inward motion of the accretion disc.
