The anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61: a neutron star with a gaseous fallback diskErtan, Ünal and Erkut, Mehmet Hakan and Ekşi, Kazım Yavuz and Alpar, M. Ali (2007) The anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61: a neutron star with a gaseous fallback disk. The Astrophysical Journal, 657 (1). pp. 441-447. ISSN 0004-637X (Print) 1538-4357 (Online)
AbstractThe recent detection of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61 in the mid-infrared with the {\it Spitzer} observatory by Z.Wang and coworkers constitutes the first instance of adisk around an AXP. We show, by analyzing earlier optical and near-IR data together with the recent data, that the overall broadband data set can be reproduced by a single model of an irradiated and viscously heated disk.
