Kinematically Resolving the Fe K Complex in Her X-1: The Accretion Disk and Ionized Wind Across X-ray Eclipses

Koh Sakamoto, Teruaki Enoto, Peter Kosec +8

We present XRISM/Resolve spectroscopy of Her X-1 across three X-ray eclipses observed in September 2024, resolving its iron K complex through the ingress, mid-eclipse, and egress p…

Cyclotron lines in highly magnetized neutron stars

R. Staubert, J. Trümper, E. Kendziorra +10

Cyclotron lines, also called cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSF) are spectral features, generally appearing in absorption, in the X-ray spectra of objects containing high…

Continued decay in the cyclotron line energy in Hercules X-1

R. Staubert, D. Klochkov, V. Vybornov +2

The centroid energy Ecyc of the cyclotron line in the spectrum of the binary X-ray pulsar Her X-1 had been found to decrease with time on a time scale of a few tens of years - surp…

Spectral Formation in Accreting X-Ray Pulsars: Bimodal Variation of the Cyclotron Energy with Luminosity

P. A. Becker, D. Klochkov, G. Schonherr +7

Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars exhibit significant variability of the Cyclotron Resonance Scattering Feature (CRSF) centroid energy on pulse-to-pulse timescales, and also on much…

Quasi-periodic flares in EXO 2030+375 observed with INTEGRAL

D. Klochkov, C. Ferrigno, A. Santangelo +5

Context: Episodic flaring activity is a common feature of X-ray pulsars in HMXBs. In some Be/X-ray binaries flares were observed in quiescence or prior to outbursts. EXO 2030+375 i…

A 0535+26 in outburst: magnetospheric instabilities and accretion geometry

I. Caballero, U. Kraus, K. Postnov +4

The Be/X-ray binary A 0535+26 showed a normal (type I) outburst in August/September 2005, which reached a maximum X-ray flux of 400mCrab in the 5-100keV range. The outburst was obs…

Is there a highly magnetized neutron star in GX 301-2?

V. Doroshenko, A. Santangelo, V. Suleimanov +4

We present the results of an in-depth study of the long-period X-ray pulsar GX 301-2. Using archival data of INTEGRAL, RXTE ASM, and CGRO BATSE, we study the spectral and timing pr…
