Accretion column

A narrow vertical to slightly tapered funnel-like column of infalling hot gas or plasma extending toward the surface of a compact star. The column has a dense, intensely luminous core and glowing edges, with a cylindrical to funnel-shaped form and slight turbulence. It appears as a bright hotspot-feeding stream above the stellar surface, colored bright white to blue-white, sometimes shifting to white-yellow at the center with warmer orange along the outer edges.; clean scientific clipart style with smooth glow, minimal detail, and no heavy shading
