Determining the neutron star surface magnetic field strength of two Z sources

From the extreme position of disk motion, we infer the neutron star (NS) surface magnetic field strength B_0 of Z-source GX 17+2 and Cyg X-2. The inferred B_0 of GX 17+2 and Cyg X-2 are ~(1-5)X10^8 G and ~(1–3)X10^8 G}, respectively, which are not inferior to that of millisecond X-ray pulsars or atoll sources. It is likely that the NS magnetic axis of Z sources is parallel to the axis of rotation, which could result in the lack of pulsations in these sources.
