Unveiling the Nature of Superorbital Modulation of SMC X-1 using NinjaSat

Chin-Ping Hu, Naoyuki Ota, Takuya Takahashi +13

We report a long-term, high-cadence timing and spectral observation of the X-ray pulsar SMC X-1 using NinjaSat, a 6U CubeSat in low-Earth orbit, covering nearly a full superorbital…

XMM-Newton view of pulsating iron fluorescent emission from Centaurus X3

Kinjal Roy, Hemanth Manikantan, Biswajit Paul

Cen X-3 is a bright, high-mass X-ray binary pulsar. We present a pulse phase-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of data from an archival XMM-Newton observation of Cen X-3 taken durin…

Luminosity dependent cyclotron line in Swift J1626.6-5156

Binay Rai, Biswajit Paul, Mohammed Tobrej +3

We studied the timing and spectral properties of the Be/X-ray pulsar Swift J1626.6-5156 using the \emph{NICER} observations of its 2021 outburst. The most important observation is…

Comprehensive broadband study of accreting neutron stars with Suzaku: Is there a bi-modality in the X-ray spectrum?

Pragati Pradhan, Biswajit Paul, Enrico Bozzo +2

We present a broadband spectral analysis of accreting neutron stars using data from XIS and PIN onboard \emph{Suzaku}. From spectral fits of these sources with a single continuum m…

Detection of a cyclotron line in SXP 15.3 during its 2017 outburst

Chandreyee Maitra, Biswajit Paul, Frank Haberl +1

We report the results of AstroSat and NuSTAR observations of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar SXP 15.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud during its outburst in late 2017, when the source rea…

Is 4U 0114+65 an eclipsing HMXB?

P. Pradhan, B. Paul, B. C. Paul +2

We present the pulsation and spectral characteristics of the HMXB 4U 0114+65 during a \emph{Suzaku} observation covering the part of the orbit that included the previously known lo…
