Accretion Disk Boundary Layers around Neutron Stars: X‐Ray Production in Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binaries

Accretion Disk Boundary Layers around Neutron Stars: X‐Ray Production in Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binaries

The boundary layer where the accretion disk meets the star is expected to be the dominant source of high-energy radiation in low-mass X-ray binaries which contain weakly magnetized accreting neutron stars. We present Newtonian solutions for the structure of the boundary layer in such a system. We find that the …
