Propeller effect in action: Unveiling quenched accretion in the transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63
Hua Xiao, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Valery F. Suleimanov +3
The Be/X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63 underwent a type II outburst in 2023. After the outburst, similar to the outbursts in 2015 and 2017, the source decayed into a quiescent state. Two o…
Angle-dependent hardening of the reprocessed spectra in ULXs powered by accretion onto neutron stars
Sricheta Karmakar, Alexander A. Mushtukov, Matthew Middleton
It is anticipated that mass accretion rates exceeding approximately in X-ray pulsars lead to radiation-driven outflows from super-critical accretion disc…
Gamma-ray lines, electron-positron annihilation, and possible radio emission in X-ray pulsars
Alexander A. Mushtukov, Emir Tataroglu, Alex J. Cooper +1
Accretion onto neutron stars (NSs) in X-ray pulsars (XRPs) results in intense X-ray emission, and under specific conditions, high-energy nuclear interactions that produce gamma-ray…
Probing the emission geometry of the X-ray pulsar 2S 1417624 during a weak outburst with NICER, IXPE, and NuSTAR
Menglei Zhou, Pengju Wang, Honghui Liu +12
We report results from a multi-mission observational campaign of the transient X-ray pulsar 2S~1417624 during its 2025 outburst, using data from NICER, IXPE, and NuSTAR. Phase-a…
Probing the polarized emission from the accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1907+09 with IXPE
Menglei Zhou, Lorenzo Ducci, Honghui Liu +12
We present observations of the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar (XRP) 4U 1907+09, conducted with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) that delivers the first high-quality po…
Discovery of a 0.8-mHz quasi-periodic oscillation in the transient X-ray pulsar SXP31.0 and associated timing transitions
Alexander Salganik, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Sergey V. Molkov +5
We present the first broadband spectral and timing study of the Be/X-ray pulsar XTE J0111.27317 (SXP31.0) during the first major outburst since its discovery in 1998. This giant…
Physics of Strong Magnetism with eXTP
Mingyu Ge, Long Ji, Roberto Taverna +47
In this paper we present the science potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission, in its new configuration, for studies of strongly magnetized compact obj…
Exploring polarization and geometry in the X-ray pulsar 4U 1538-52
Vladislav Loktev, Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov +12
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observations of accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) continue to provide novel insights into the physics and geometry of these sources. We p…
Revealing two orthogonally polarized spectral components in Vela X-1 with IXPE
Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Valery F. Suleimanov +2
Polarimetric observations of X-ray pulsars (XRPs) have provided us with the key to unlocking their geometrical properties. Thanks to the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) t…
