Extract

Magnetic fields of about 1012 G have now been measured in several astrophysical objects (Trümper etal. 1978, Wheaton et al. 1979, Mazets et al. 1981). In the case of pulsating X-ray sources, the presence of a companion star indicates that accretion is probably the energy source for the X-rays.
