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…

The low luminosity end of Galactic HMXBs with eROSITA: Establishing a luminosity floor for accreting BeXRBs

Aafia Zainab, Philipp Thalhammer, Nico Zalot +18

We present a first look at the Galactic population of heretofore known HMXBs as observed by SRG/eROSITA during its first four surveys. eROSITA's sensitivity of $\sim10^{-13}\,\math…

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…

Flux variability of the "10 keV feature" of 4U 0115+63

Katrin Berger, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Ralf Ballhausen +14

X-ray spectra of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars can often be described using a power-law continuum with a high-energy cutoff, which might be further modified by additional spectra…

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…

XMM-Newton Observations of Flares and a Possible Pulse Dropout in the Supergiant X-ray binary 4U 1909+07

Joel B. Coley, Ralf Ballhausen, McKinley Brumback +9

We report on a pair of X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) observations of the Supergiant X-ray binary 4U 1909+07, which were performed on 2021 October 3 and 2021 October 8, re…
