Scientific paper

Based on the accretion model presented in our previous paper (Wu et al. 1998), which gives a satisfactory explanation for the evolution of the bolometric luminosity of SN 1987A in a later phase, we infer that the observed soft X-ray flux also originates from the accretion of the central neutron star. The result of the model calculations is in good agreement with the observed X-ray light curve of SN 1987A. Our calculations show the long-term behavior of the X-ray flux which increases with time until age t ~ 4100d, and thenceforth begins to decline slowly.
