An investigation of the "10 keV feature" in the spectra of Accretion Powered X-ray Pulsars with NuSTAR

Hemanth Manikantan, Biswajit Paul, Vikram Rana

Some of the accreting X-ray pulsars are reported to exhibit a peculiar spectral feature at 10 keV, known as the "10 keV feature". The feature has been characterized as either…

Changes in the distribution of circum-binary material around the HMXB GX 301-2 during a rapid spin-up episode of the neutron star

Hemanth Manikantan, Biswajit Paul, Kinjal Roy +1

Some accretion powered X-ray pulsars with supergiant companion stars undergo occasional rapid spin-up episodes that last for weeks to a few months. We explore the changes in the ac…

Constraint on the accretion of NGC 6946 X-1 using broadband X-ray data

Tanuman Ghosh, Vikram Rana

We analyze broadband X-ray data of NGC 6946 X-1 and probe plausible accretion scenarios in this ULX. NGC 6946 X-1 is a persistent soft source with broadband continuum spectra descr…

Spectral variability in NGC 1042 ULX1

Tanuman Ghosh, Vikram Rana

We report X-ray spectral variability in an ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1042 ULX1, using archival XMM-Newton and recent NuSTAR observations. In long-term evolution, the source ha…
