Spin-disc misalignment drives periodic accretion and pulse profile asymmetry in X-ray pulsarstranslating…

arXiv:2608.27691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate magnetospheric accretion in disc-fed X-ray pulsars assuming that the neutron star spin axis is not perpendicular to the disc plane. We focus on X-ray pulsars, where a geometrically thin disc is truncated far from…
