Scientific paper

We study the resonant interaction of neutron stars with disks around Be stars in Be/X-ray binaries, assuming that Be disks are formed by viscous decretion. Comparing the viscous and resonant torques exerted on the gas, we find that the Be disk is truncated at a radius which depends on the orbital parameters and viscosity. Based on this result, we propose two possible scenarios for Type I X-ray outbursts in Be/X-ray binaries. .
