4U 1626-67 Returns to Spin-Down: Timing features toe the line
Rahul Sharma, Chetana Jain, Biswajit Paul
We present a comprehensive analysis of X-ray pulsar 4U 1626-67 during its current spin-down (2SD) state, following a recent torque reversal. Since its discovery, this ultra-compact…
Probing spectral and timing properties of the X-ray pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 in the giant outburst of 2022-2023
Manoj Mandal, Rahul Sharma, Sabyasachi Pal +10
The X-ray pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 went through a giant outburst in 2022 and reached a record-high flux of 2.3 Crab, as observed by Swift/BAT. We study the evolution of different spe…
