Scientific paper

A summary is given of the magnetospheric physics of accreting magnetized neutron stars. The role of hydromagnetic instabilities is described, with particular attention to the formation of polar caps in spherical and disk on, and to the origin of spin down torques in a centrigugally driven stellar wind, when the accretion is from a disk. The most elementary consequences for formation of the emergent spectrum are also discussed.
