Monte Carlo Simulations on Possible Collimation Effects of Outflows to Fan Beam Emission of Ultraluminous Accreting X-Ray Pulsars

Abstract Pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources (PULXs) are accreting pulsars with apparent X-ray luminosity exceeding 10 39 erg s −1 . We perform Monte Carlo simulations to investigate whether a high collimation effect (or strong beaming effect) is dominant in the presence of accretion outflows, for the fan beam emission of …
