Burial of the polar magnetic field of an accreting neutron star – I. Self-consistent analytic and numerical equilibria

The hydromagnetic structure of a neutron star accreting symmetrically at both magnetic poles is calculated as a function of accreted mass, Ma, and polar cap radius, starting from a centred magnetic dipole and evolving through a quasi-static sequence of two-dimensional, Grad–Shafranov equilibria. The...
