Magnetized Accretion onto Neutron Stars: From Photon-trapped to Neutrino-cooled Flows

Magnetized Accretion onto Neutron Stars: From Photon-trapped to Neutrino-cooled Flows

When a neutron star (NS) intercepts gas from a nondegenerate star, e.g., in a tidal disruption event, a common-envelope phase, or the collapsing core of a massive star, photons become trapped in the hot flow around the NS. This gas forms a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) until the dens...
