Understanding the coexistence of spin-up and spin-down behaviours in long-period X-ray pulsars.

Abstract (from CDS):

Assuming wind-fed accretion magnetars in long-period X-ray pulsars, we calculated the rotational evolution of neutron stars. Our calculations considered the effects of magnetic field decay in magnetars. The results show that wind-fed accretion magnetars can evolve to long-period X-ray pulsars with a spin period much longer than 1000 s. The spin-down trend observed in 4U 2206+54-like sources is expected when young X-ray binary systems are on the way to their equilibrium period. Detailed calculations showed that the spin-down may be affected by accretion with outflows or accretion while spinning down. Due to magnetic field decay in magnetars, wind-fed accretion magnetars will have a decreasing equilibrium period for a constant mass accretion rate. For 2S 0114+65, the spin-up rate due to magnetic field decay is one order of magnitude smaller than observations. The spin-up rate of 2S 0114+65 may be attributed to the formation of a transient disc during wind accretion. The slowest X-ray pulsar AX J1910.7+0917 would be a link source between 4U 2206+54 and 2S 0114+65.
