Electrodynamics of disk accretion onto magnetic neutron star.
Abstract
The problem of the structure of the magnetic field in a system constituted of a magnetic neutron star and a disk of perfectly conducting plasma orbiting around is considered. The location of the magnetopause and the effect of the non-radial magnetic forces acting upon the disk are discussed.
