In accreting binary neutron star systems matter is channelled by the strong magnetic field to the poles of the neutron star. The accreted matter accumulates at the poles to form accretion mounds. Pressure from the confined matter can significantly distort the local magnetic field structure, affecting the X-ray observations and long term evolution of the magnetic field. ...
