We study the (time) fluctuations in the outgoing radiation of accretion disks in binary systems in order to obtain properties of those systems (via comparison with observations), such as the angular momentum of the compact star within the disk. The effects of the companion star are discussed, and a prediction is made on the frequency of the outgoing (modulated) X-ray radiation.

Resumen

Resumen

Se estudia las fluctuaciones (temporales) en la radiación saliente de discos de acreción en sistemas binarios, con el objeto de determinar las propiedades de dichos sistemas (comparando con las observaciones), tales como el momento angular de la estrella compacta alojada en el disco. Después de una discusión de los efectos de la estrella compañera se presenta una predicción de la frecuencia de la radiación saliente (modulada) de rayos X.
