We present preliminary results on our campaign of observations of the X-ray binary pulsar GX301-2. BeppoSAX observed this source six times in January/February 1998: at the periastron and apoastron, and at other four, intermediate, orbital…
In this paper I will briefly review what are, in my view, the main contributions of BeppoSAX to the understanding of the class of sources known as Soft Gamma Repeaters. These enigmatic sources were firmly identified as steady pulsars just…
In this paper we present some preliminary result on the spectral and timing analysis of the X-ray pulsed emission from the 16 ms pulsar PSR J0537-6910 in the energy range 0.1--30 keV, based on archival BeppoSAX and RossiXTE observations.…
We review recent results obtained from observations of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars at different wavelengths (X-rays, Optical, IR and Radio) with particular emphasis on results obtained by BeppoSAX. Proposed models for AXPs are briefly presented…
We present the results of a BeppoSAX observation of PSR J0218+4232 which, for the first time, provides detailed information on the pulsar's temporal and spectral emission properties in the broad band 1-10 keV. We detected X-ray pulses with…
We report the results of the observations of the three gamma-ray pulsars PSR B0656+14, PSR B1055-52 and PSR B1706-44 performed with BeppoSAX. We detected a pulsed emission only for PSR B1055-52: in the range 0.1-6.5 keV the pulse profile is…
BeppoSAX observed several galactic binary X-ray pulsars during the Science Verification Phase and in the first year of the regular program. The complex emission spectra of these sources are an ideal target for the BeppoSAX instrumentation,…
We present the results of a BeppoSAX observation of the fastest rotating pulsar known: PSR B1937+21. The ~200 ks observation (78.5 ks MECS/34 ks LECS on-source time) allowed us to investigate with high statistical significance both the…
The 8.7s X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 was monitored by BeppoSAX between January 1997 and February 1998. This source belongs to the rapidly growing class of "anomalous" X-ray pulsars (AXPs) which have pulse periods in the 6-12s range and no…
The Crab Nebula and the Pulsar have been pointed several times by the BeppoSAX satellite. We analysed all these observations, summed together, to study the main spectral properties with a good phase resolution. A new accurate estimate of…
This article is the second in the series that analyze about 1.87 million periods of Crab pulsar, observed by the PCA detector aboard the RXTE x-ray observatory. At these energies the pulsar displays none of the three phenomena that are…
We present timing observations of four millisecond pulsars, using data obtained over three years at the ATNF Parkes and NRAL Jodrell Bank radio telescopes. Astrometric, spin, and binary parameters are updated, and substantially improved for…
The paper presents the timing and spectral analysis of several observations of the Crab pulsar performed with INTEGRAL in the energy range 3-500 keV. All these observations, when summed together provide a high statistics data set which can…
We present the first X-ray observations of three recently discovered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with interesting characteristics: PSR J0337+1715, PSR J0636+5129, and PSR J0645+5158. PSR J0337+1715 is a fast-spinning, bright, and so-far…
We report results on the timing and spectral analysis of observations of the millisecond pulsar PSR B1821-24 with RXTE, BeppoSAX and Chandra. The X-ray light curve is characterized by two narrow peaks at a phase distance of 0.452+/-0.002.…
The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer ({\sl RXTE}) has made hundreds of observations on three famous young pulsars (PSRs) B0531+21 (Crab), B1509-58, and B0540-69. Using the archive {\sl RXTE} data, we have studied the phase-resolved spectral…
We present here results obtained from three BeppoSAX observations of the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar SMC X-1 carried out during the declining phases of its 40--60 days long super-orbital period. Timing analysis of the data clearly shows…
Until now X-radiation from nine millisecond pulsars has been detected. In the present paper we summarize the observations and show the results of a re-analysis of archival ROSAT data. In addition we present the results of recent…
We present timing solutions and spin properties of the young pulsar PSR B0540-69 from analysis of 15.8 yr of data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. We perform a partially phase-coherent timing analysis in order to mitigate the…
