Scientific paper

We propose a new model for the magnetosphere of a neutron star with accretiondisc for the case when the star's magnetic axis is not aligned with the rotation axis. We calculated the d isc shape and estimated the magnetic field and its gradient in the corona. Using the derived estimates as the initial data, we calculated the model of the reconnecting current sheet and estimated the capacity of the energy release from such corona sheets. The magnetic reconnection contributes essentially to the accretion disc corona heating, which enables us to explain the observed X-ray radiation from neutron stars.
