Pulse profiles of accreting neutron stars - A review of analysis methods, observations, and theoretical models
Katja Pottschmidt, Peter Kretschmar, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa +25
X-ray pulsars are highly magnetized ( G) neutron stars accreting from a donor star. Their characteristic X-ray emission arises from accreted material decelerated fro…
GeoCache: Training-Free Acceleration of Multi-View Texture Diffusion via Geometric Delta Transport
Haotang Li, Zhenyu Qi, Shaohan Henry Wang +6
Geometry-conditioned multi-view diffusion enables high-quality 3D texture generation, but its repeated per-view denoiser evaluations introduce substantial computational cost. Exist…
Energy-resolved pulse profiles of Vela X-1: cross-calibrating XMM-Newton and NuSTAR to trace spectral features
Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Antonino D'Aì, Camille M. Diez +12
Pulse profiles probe the emission geometry of accreting X-ray pulsars, but their observed shapes may depend on instrumental response and observational setup. The pulsed fraction sp…
A simple relation: Neutron star magnetic field strength and spectral shape at low mass accretion rates
Nicolas Zalot, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Aafia Zainab +8
The X-ray spectra of neutron stars with moderate magnetic fields ( G) in high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) at low X-ray luminosities ( e…
Flux variability of the "10 keV feature" of 4U 0115+63
Katrin Berger, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Ralf Ballhausen +14
X-ray spectra of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars can often be described using a power-law continuum with a high-energy cutoff, which might be further modified by additional spectra…
The elusive cyclotron line in 4U 1901+03: hidden, yet present
Elena Ambrosi, Antonino D' Aì, Giancarlo Cusumano +8
Context. Cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSFs) in accreting X-ray pulsars are often difficult to detect, especially when shallow or variable. Recent studies have shown tha…
