1 Many facets of Neutron Stars Astrosat and beyond Biswajit Paul Raman Research Institute, Bangalore

2 Many facets of Neutron Stars Astrosat and beyond Different varieties of neutron stars X-ray binary studies Orbital evolution of X-ray binaries Accretion torque Quasi periodic oscillations in accreting X-ray pulsars Self absorption in X-ray and dips in the pulse profiles Cyclotron scattering resonance feature, pulse phased studies Thermonuclear bursts, X-ray reprocessing Future Astrosat X-ray polarimeter

3 Rotation Powered : Ordinary and Millisecond Pulsars Different Types of Neutron Stars

4 Magnetars Different Types of Neutron Stars

5 Accretion Powered Different Types of Neutron Stars

6 Why study orbital evolution Single star evolution is different from binary evolution End products : Double compact binaries (Gravitational wave, GRBs) Stellar physics!!

7 Orbital Evolution HMXBs LMC X-4 SMC X-1 Cen X-3 4U 1538-52 Be-XRBs 4U 0115+63 LMXBs Her X-1 SAX J1808.4-3658 4U 1822-37 XTE J1710-281 Conservative mass transfer Mass transfer + mass loss Tidal effect Gravitational wave radiation

8 Measurement Techniques Pulse timing (Broad pulse, jitters, absorption, statistics) Eclipse timing (Pre-eclipse dips) Orbital modulation (Stability of modulation pattern) Spectroscopic (HMXB ? X-ray Irradiation ?)

9 Orbital Evolution of HMXB Pulsars Evolution time scale ~10 5-6 years  Tidal effect
