摘要
One ultraluminous X-ray source in M82 has recently been identified as an accreting neutron star(named Nu STAR J095551+6940.8).It has a super-Eddington luminosity and is spinning up.An aged magnetar is more likely to be a low magnetic field magnetar.An accreting low magnetic field magnetar may explain both the superEddington luminosity and the rotational behavior of this source.Considering the effect of beaming,the spin-up rate is understandable using the traditional form of accretion torque.The transient nature and spectral properties of M82 X-2 are discussed.The theoretical range of periods for accreting magnetars is provided.Three observational appearances of accreting magnetars are summarized.
