Accretion of matter by a magnetized neutron star, in the case of large mass fluxes, when the reaction of the outgoing radiation cannot be disregarded, is examined. Luminance at which the outgoing radiation must be taken into account was calculated. It was shown that the limiting X-ray luminance of accretions by a neutron star with a magnetic field depends strongly on accretion channel geometry and can exceed the critical Eddington value. Effects connected with flow around the magnetosphere of the neutron star are discussed in detail. It was shown that the layer of gas must be optically thick with respect to Thomson scattering and that it can reradiate a significant portion of the primary flux in the soft range. A necessary condition for supercritical luminance is asymmetric flow around the Alfven surface. Regular pulsations of both hard and soft X-rays are discussed within the framework of the proposed model.
