X-ray emission from magnetized neutron star atmospheres at low mass accretion rates. I. Phase-averaged spectrum
E. Sokolova-Lapa, M. Gornostaev, J. Wilms +12
Recent observations of X-ray pulsars at low luminosities allow, for the first time, to compare theoretical models for the emission from highly magnetized neutron star atmospheres a…
SIXTE -- The Generic X-ray Instrument Simulation Toolkit
Thomas Dauser, Sebastian Falkner, Maximilian Lorenz +8
We give an overview of the SImulation of X-ray TElescopes (SIXTE) software package, a generic, mission-independent Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for X-ray astronomical instrumenta…
Spectral and Timing Analysis of the accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1626-67 observed with Suzaku and NuSTAR
Wataru B. Iwakiri, Katja Pottschmidt, Sebastian Falkner +13
We present an analysis of the spectral shape and pulse profile of the accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1626-67 observed with Suzaku and NuSTAR during a spin-up state. The pulsar, which…
Multiple cyclotron line-forming regions in GX 301-2
F. Fuerst, S. Falkner, D. Marcu-Cheatham +6
We present two observations of the high-mass X-ray binary GX 301-2 with NuSTAR, taken at different orbital phases and different luminosities. We find that the continuum is well des…
Evidence for different accretion regimes in GRO J1008-57
Matthias Kühnel, Felix Fürst, Katja Pottschmidt +6
We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of the BeXRB GRO J1008-57 over a luminosity range of three orders of magnitude using NuSTAR, Suzaku and RXTE data. We find significant…
Cyclotron resonant scattering feature simulations. II. Description of the CRSF simulation process
F. -W. Schwarm, R. Ballhausen, S. Falkner +12
Cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSFs) are formed by scattering of X-ray photons off quantized plasma electrons in the strong magnetic field (of the order 10^12 G) close to…
The Goodness of Simultaneous Fits in ISIS
Matthias Kühnel, Sebastian Falkner, Christoph Grossberger +15
In a previous work, we introduced a tool for analyzing multiple datasets simultaneously, which has been implemented into ISIS. This tool was used to fit many spectra of X-ray binar…
The TANAMI Multiwavelength Program: Dynamic SEDs of Southern Blazars
Felicia Krauß, Joern Wilms, Matthias Kadler +32
Simultaneous broadband spectral and temporal studies of blazars are an important tool for investigating active galactic nuclei (AGN) jet physics. We study the spectral evolution be…
Suzaku observations of the 2013 outburst of KS 1947+300
Ralf Ballhausen, Matthias Kühnel, Katja Pottschmidt +9
We report on the timing and spectral analysis of two Suzaku observations with different flux levels of the high-mass X-ray binary KS 1947+300 during its 2013 outburst. In agreement…
The Transient Accereting X-Ray Pulsar XTE J1946+274: Stability of the X-Ray Properties at Low Flux and Updated Orbital Solution
Diana M. Marcu-Cheatham, Katja Pottschmidt, Matthias Kühnel +19
We present a timing and spectral analysis of the X-ray pulsar XTE J1946+274 observed with Suzaku during an outburst decline in 2010 October and compare with previous results. XTE J…
Formation of phase lags at the cyclotron energies in the pulse profiles of magnetized, accreting neutron stars
G. Schönherr, F. -W. Schwarm, S. Falkner +13
Context: Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars show highly energy-dependent and complex pulse-profile morphologies. Significant deviations from the average pulse profile can appear, in p…
