Importance of Compton scattering on X-ray spectra of Millisecond Pulsars and Intermediate Polars V. Suleimanov Millisecond Pulsars LMXB, νspin(NS) ~ 200 – 700 Hz, Porb ~ 40 min – 4.5 hours, B ~ 108 – 109 Gs Intermediate Polars (IPs) CV, P spin (WD) P orb, B ~ 1 – 10 MGs AD disrupted by magnetic field at some radius RA (Alfven radius) R A is radius where P ram = P mag Method of WD mass estimations Shock wave standing above WD surface The kinetic energy of the infalling gas is converted to the thermal energy There is a reliable mass-radius relation for WD (Nauenberg 1972) Maximum temperature after the shock depends on WD mass only The temperature can be obtained from the fitting of the observed X-ray spectrum by bremsstrahlung model Previous investigations Rotschild et al (1981) - idea Ishida (1991) – GINGA / LAC observations, isothermal post-shock region (PSR, or accretion column) Detail model of PSR (non-isothermal) Aizu (1973), Wu et al (1994), Woelk Beuermann (1996), Cropper et al. (1999) WD mass determinations using non-isothermal models of PSR Cropper et al (1999) – GINGA / LAC (2-20 keV) Ramsay (2000) – RXTE / PCA (3-20 keV) The modelbased on Cropper et al (1999) Mass continuity equation The momentum equation The energy equation Ideal-gas law The cooling rate The cooling function from Sutherland Dopita (1993) Conclusions Work is not finished It is necessary to improve the “accretion column” model for Millisecond Pulsars Compton scattering is significant for high mass Intermediate Polars and it is necessary to take into account * (Tuebingen University, Kazan State University) In collaboration with J.
