A double-peaked outburst of A 0535+26 observed with INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Suzaku
I. Caballero, K. Pottschmidt, D. M. Marcu +18
The Be/X-ray binary A 0535+26 showed a normal (type I) outburst in August 2009. It is the fourth in a series of normal outbursts associated with the periastron, but is unusual by p…
Understanding the Last Mile - Physics of the Accretion Column
Peter Kretschmar, Peter A. Becker, Dipankar Bhattacharya +17
Accreting X-ray pulsars are among the best observed objects of X-ray astronomy with a rich data set of observational phenomena in the spectral and timing domain. While the general…
The Be/X-ray Binary Swift J1626.6-5156 as a Variable Cyclotron Line Source
Megan E. DeCesar, Patricia T. Boyd, Katja Pottschmidt +3
Swift J1626.6-5156 is a Be/X-ray binary that was in outburst from December 2005 until November 2008. We have examined RXTE/PCA and HEXTE spectra of three long observations of this…
Study of the many fluorescent lines and the absorption variability in GX 301-2 with XMM-Newton
F. Fuerst, S. Suchy, I. Kreykenbohm +7
We present an in-depth study of the High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) GX 301-2 during its pre-periastron flare using data from the XMM-Newton satellite. The energy spectrum shows a pow…
Broadband spectroscopy using two Suzaku observation of the HMXB GX 301-2
Slawomir Suchy, Felix Fuerst, Katja Pottschmidt +5
We present the analysis of two Suzaku observations of GX 301-2 at two orbital phases after the periastron passage. Variations in the column density of the line-of-sight absorber ar…
A Suzaku View of Cyclotron Line Sources and Candidates
K. Pottschmidt, S. Suchy, E. Rivers +20
Seventeen accreting neutron star pulsars, mostly high mass X-ray binaries with half of them Be-type transients, are known to exhibit Cyclotron Resonance Scattering Features (CRSFs)…
