Abstract

We present the results of our study of the X-ray pulsar IGR J21343+4738 based on NuSTAR, Swift, and SRG observations in the wide energy range 0.3 - 79 keV. The absence of absorption features in the energy spectra of the source, both averaged and phase-resolved ones, has allowed us to estimate the upper and lower limits on the magnetic field of the neutron star in the binary system, B<2.5×1011B<2.5\times10^{11}G and B>3.4×1012B>3.4 \times 10^{12}G, respectively. The spectral and timing analyses have shown that IGR J21343+4738 has all properties of a quasi-persistent X-ray pulsar with a pulsation period of 322.71±0.04322.71\pm{0.04}s and a luminosity Lx3.3L_{x} \simeq3.3 ×1035\times10^{35}erg s1^{-1}. The analysis of the long-term variability of the object in X-rays has confirmed the possible orbital period of the binary system 34.3\sim 34.3 days previously detected in the optical range.
