Fingerprints of thermal Comptonization in accreting neutron stars. Plasma-vacuum interplay in cyclotron lines and polarisation
E. Sokolova-Lapa, D. K. Maniadakis, J. J. R. Stierhof +11
X-ray emission from accreting, strongly magnetised neutron stars and its pulse-phase variability probe their magnetic-field geometry, spin orientation, and emission processes. Whet…
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…
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…
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…
Double-hump spectrum, pulse profile dip, and pulsed fraction spectra from the low-accretion regime in the X-ray pulsar MAXI J0655-013
C. Malacaria, S. N. Pike, A. D'Aì +18
Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) undergo different physical regimes depending on the mass accretion rate. Recent observations have shown a dramatic change in the emission properties…
How the spin-phase variability of cyclotron lines shapes the pulsed fraction spectra: insights from 4U 1538-52
Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Antonino D'Aì +15
We study the energy-dependent pulse profile of 4U 1538-52 and its phase-dependent spectral variability, with emphasis on the behavior around the cyclotron resonant scattering featu…
Energy-resolved pulse profile changes in V 0332+53: Indications of wings in the cyclotron absorption line profile
Antonino D'Aì, Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Carlo Ferrigno +15
We aim to investigate the energy-resolved pulse profile changes of the accreting X-ray pulsar V 0332+53, focusing in the cyclotron line energy range, using the full set of availabl…
Swift-BAT GUANO follow-up of gravitational-wave triggers in the third LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
Gayathri Raman, Samuele Ronchini, James Delaunay +1819
We present results from a search for X-ray/gamma-ray counterparts of gravitational-wave (GW) candidates from the third observing run (O3) of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network usin…
Energy-resolved pulse profiles of accreting pulsars: Diagnostic tools for spectral features
Carlo Ferrigno, Antonino D'Aì, Elena Ambrosi
We introduce a method for extracting spectral information from energy-resolved light curves folded at the neutron star spin period (known as pulse profiles) in accreting X-ray bina…
Modelling multiwavelength emission of Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources accreting above the Eddington limit
Elena Ambrosi, Luca Zampieri, Fabio Pintore +1
We model the multiwavelength properties of binaries accreting at super-critical rates with the aim to better understand the observational properties of Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources…
