Magnetized Accretion onto Neutron Stars: From Photon-trapped to Neutrino-cooled Flows by Luciano Combi, Christopher Thompson, Daniel M. Siegel, Alexander Philippov, Bart Ripperda

“…At low accretion rates, the hydrostatic atmosphere shows slow rotation and weak magnetization, transitioning to an outer RIAF structure. A toroidal magnetic field mediates the inward flow of energy and angular momentum through the atmosphere, which reaches a steady state when neutrino emission balances the accretion power. …”
