General relativistic spectra of accretion discs around rapidly rotating neutron stars: effect of light bending (2001)

Bhattacharyya, S, Bhattacharya, D, Thampan, A V

We present computed spectra, as seen by a distant observer, from the accretion disc around a rapidly rotating neutron star. Our calculations are carried out in a fully general relativistic framework,...

Temperature profiles of accretion discs around rapidly rotating strange stars in general relativity: A comparison with neutron stars (2001)

Bhattacharyya, S, Thampan, A. V, Bombaci, I

We compute the temperature profiles of accretion discs around rapidly rotating strange stars, using constant gravitational mass equilibrium sequences of these objects, considering the full effect of...

General Relativistic Spectra of Accretion Disks around Rotating Neutron Stars (2001)

Bhattacharyya, S, Misra, R, Thampan, A. V

General relativistic spectra from accretion disks around rotating neutron stars in the appropriate spacetime geometry for several different equations of state, spin rates, and masses of the compact...

Possible signatures for strange stars in stellar X-ray binaries (2000)

Datta, B, Thampan, A. V, Bombaci, I

Kilohertz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (kHz QPOs) observed in certain X-ray burst sources may represent Keplerian frequencies in the inner regions of the accretion disk in such systems. If...

Implications of kHz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations in X-ray binaries for neutron star structure (1999)

Thampan, A. V, Bhattacharya, D, Datta, B

Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) may represent the orbital frequencies of the innermost Keplerian orbits around accreting neutron stars. Attempts have...
