A Model of a Pulsating X-Ray Source

Description
 A Model of a Pulsating X-Ray Source
Gas transfers from an ordinary star to the neutron star. The infalling
gas is funneled down onto the neutron star’s magnetic poles,
where it strikes the star with enough energy to create two X ray–emitting
hot spots. As the neutron star spins, beams of X
rays from the hot spots sweep around the sky.
