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…
A model for cyclotron resonance scattering features
G. Schönherr, J. Wilms, P. Kretschmar +5
(abbreviated version of the abstract) We study the physics of cyclotron line formation in the high-energy spectra of accreting X-ray pulsars using Monte Carlo methods, assuming tha…
3A 0535+262 in outburst
P. Kretschmar, K. Pottschmidt, C. Ferrigno +10
The Be/X-ray binary 3A 0535+262 has the highest magnetic field determined by cyclotron line studies of all accreting X-ray pulsars, despite an open debate if the fundamental line w…
