Real-time observations of the transition to the quiescent state in an accreting magnetised neutron star: No propeller required?
Sergey S. Tsygankov, Galina Lipunova, Valery F. Suleimanov +6
The final stages of outbursts in transient X-ray pulsars (XRPs), which are characterised by a significant decline in the mass accretion rate, provide valuable insight into the phys…
X-ray polarization in the soft state of Cyg X-1
A. Niedzwiecki, M. Szanecki, A. Veledina +5
We aim to identify the physical mechanism responsible for the observed X-ray emission and polarization of Cyg X-1 in the soft state. We performed a detailed spectral analysis of X-…
Detection and luminosity-dependent evolution of the high-energy hump in the Be/X-ray pulsar 1A 1118-61
Alexander Salganik, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Sergey V. Molkov +12
Context. Accreting X-ray pulsars exhibit strong luminosity-dependent changes in their broad-band spectra. At high luminosities, their spectra are usually described by a power-law c…
First detection of X-ray polarization from the long-period X-ray pulsar 4U 1954+319
Alexander Salganik, Lingda Kong, Sofia V. Forsblom +6
We report the first detection of X-ray polarization with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer from the X-ray pulsar (XRP) 4U 1954319. The source belongs to an extremely rare c…
X-Ray Polarization from the Atoll 4U 1735-44 Suggests a Low Inclination
M. A. DÃaz Teodori, A. Bobrikova, A. Gnarini +17
X-ray polarimetry is a new tool capable of probing the geometry of accretion onto weakly magnetized neutron stars. Here we present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results from…
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…
