Free-Free Gaunt factors for atmospheres of accreting pulsars observable with X-ray space missions
Parisee S. Shirke
Free-Free Gaunt factors for X-ray absorption by hot plasma in the presence of a strong magnetic field are reported. Modified formulae are used for application to the non-local ther…

Numerical Simulations of Pulse Profiles for Binary Accreting X-ray Pulsars II: A Case Study of Centaurus X-3
Parisee S. Shirke, Gulab C. Dewangan
The pulse shapes simulated in the accompanying paper Part I are compared with observations of a model binary accreting X-ray pulsar, Centaurus X-3. With known Cen X-3 inclinati…
