The fundamental difference between accretion around black holes and neutron stars is the inner boundary condition, which affects the behavior of matter very close to the compact objects. This leads to formation of additional shocks and boundary layers for neutron stars. Previous studies on the formation of such boundary layers focused on Keplerian flows that reached the surface of the star, either directly or through the formation of a transition layer. However, behavior of sub-Keplerian matter near the surface of a neutron star has not been studied in detail. Here, we study the effect of viscosity, in presence of cooling, on the sub-Keplerian flows around neutron stars, using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. Our time-dependent study shows that multiple shocks, transition and boundary layers form in such type of accretion, when viscosity is significant, and one or more layers are absent when the viscosity is moderate. These flows are particularly of interest for the wind dominated systems such as Cir X-1. We also report the formation of a generalized flow configuration, Two-Component Advective Flow, for the first time.

An accretion flow around a black hole has a saddle type sonic point just outside the event horizon to guarantee that the flow enters the black hole supersonically. This feature exclusively present in strong gravity limit makes its marks in every obse
rvation of black hole candidates. Another physical sonic point is present (as in a Bondi flow) even in weak gravity. Every aspect of spectral or temporal properties of every black hole can be understood using this transonic or advective flow having more than one saddle type points. This most well known and generalized solution with viscosity and radiative transfer has been verified by numerical simulations also. Spectra, computed for various combinations of the standard Keplerian, and advective sub-Keplerian components match accurately with those from satellite observations. Standing, oscillating and propagatory oscillating shocks are produced due to centrifugal barrier of the advective component. The post-shock region acts as the Compton cloud producing the power-law spectra. Jets and outflows are also produced from this post-shock region, commonly known as the CENtrifugal barrier supported BOundary Layer or CENBOL. In soft states, the CENBOL is cooled down by soft photons from the Keplerian disk, and thus the outflow is absent. Type-C and Type-B QPOs are generated respectively due to strong and weak resonance oscillations of the CENBOL. Away from resonance, oscillation may be triggered when Rankine-Hugoniot conditions are not satisfied and Type-A QPOs could be seen.
We study the spectral and timing properties of a two component advective flow (TCAF) around a black hole by numerical simulation. Several cases have been simulated by varying the Keplerian disk rate and the resulting spectra and lightcurves have been
produced for all the cases. The dependence of the spectral states and quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies on the flow parameters is discussed. We also find the earlier explanation of arising of QPOs as the resonance between infall time scale and cooling time scale remain valid even for Compton cooling.
Outflows are common in many astrophysical systems. In the Two Component Advective Flow ({fontfamily{qcr}selectfont TCAF}) paradigm which is essentially a generalized Bondi flow including rotation, viscosity and cooling effects, the outflow is origina
ted from the hot, puffed up, post-shock region at the inner edge of the accretion disk. We consider this region to be the base of the jet carrying away matter with high velocity. In this paper, we study the spectral properties of black holes using {fontfamily{qcr}selectfont TCAF} which includes also a jet ({fontfamily{qcr}selectfont JeTCAF}) in the vertical direction of the disk plane. Soft photons from the Keplerian disk are up-scattered by the post-shock region as well as by the base of the jet and are emitted as hard radiation. We also include the bulk motion Comptonization effect by the diverging flow of jet. Our self-consistent accretion-ejection solution shows how the spectrum from the base of the jet varies with accretion rates, geometry of the flow and the collimation factor of the jet. We apply the solution to a jetted candidate GS,1354-64 to estimate its mass outflow rate and the geometric configuration of the flow during 2015 outburst using {it NuSTAR} observation. The estimated mass outflow to mass inflow rate is $0.12^{+0.02}_{-0.03}$. From the model fitted accretion rates, shock compression ratio and the energy spectral index, we identify the presence of hard and intermediate spectral states of the outburst. Our model fitted jet collimation factor ($f_{rm col}$) is found to be $0.47^{+0.09}_{-0.09}$.
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) have been puzzling us with a debate whether they consist of an intermediate mass black hole or super-Eddington accretion by a stellar mass black hole. Here we suggest that in the presence of large scale strong magn
etic fields and non-negligible vertical motion, the luminosity of ULXs, particularly in their hard states, can be explained with sub-Eddington accretion by stellar mass black holes. In this framework of 2.5D magnetized advective accretion flows, magnetic tension plays the role of transporting matter (equivalent to viscous shear via turbulent viscosity) and we neither require to invoke an intermediate mass black hole nor super-Eddington accretion. Our model explains the sources, like, NGC 1365 X1/X2, M82 X42.3+59, M99 X1 etc. which are in their hard power-law dominated states.
We use Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to study viscous accretion flows around a weakly magnetic neutron star. We show the formation of multiple ``boundary layers in presence of both cooling and viscosity. We find that with the introduction of a smal
l viscosity in a sub-Keplerian flow, much like the wind accretion in HMXBs such as Cir X-1, only a single Normal Boundary Layer (NBOL) forms to adjust the rotational velocity component. With the increase of viscosity, the region extends radially and beyond some critical value, a RAdiative KEplerian Disk/layer (RAKED) forms between the sub-Keplerian flow and the NBOL. When viscosity is increased further only NBOL and RAKED remain. In all such cases, the CENtrifugal pressure dominated BOundary Layer (CENBOL) is formed, away from the star, as in the case of black holes. This is the first self-consistent study where such a transition from sub-Keplerian flows has been reported for neutron stars. We also identify the connection between accretion and ejection of matter, following the Two-Component Advective Flow for black holes, for neutron stars. The results are crucial in the understanding of the formation of disks, boundary layers and outflows in wind dominated neutron star systems.
