Catalog of the Galactic population of X-ray pulsars in High-mass X-ray binary systems

Abstract

A catalog of the Galactic population of X-ray pulsars in high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems is presented. It contains information about 82 confirmed sources: 18 persistent and 64 transient pulsars. Their basic parameters include spin period, spin evolution with global and local spin-up/spin-down and duration, orbital period, X-ray luminosity, magnetic field strength measured by cyclotron line analysis, distance, spectral and luminosity class, observable parameters of massive companions, which are shown in the tables provided, with corresponding references. Candidates of the HMXB pulsars are also listed for further careful consideration.
