€Model introduced by Wu et al (2002) to deal with
absence of polarisation and emission lines in RXJ1914.4+2457
€Scaled-up version of Jupiter-moon interactions
heating Jupiter¹s atmosphere at footpoints of magnetic field lines threading moon, BUT:
a)energy release boosted by stronger magnetic
field
b)shorter period
c)secondary larger than a moon
€Up to 1036 ergs/s available (depending on degree of
asynchronism)
€Star shines by electrical
resistive heating:
new mechanism after
1.nuclear fusion
2.accretion
3.magnetic (magnetars)
