The recurrent hard pulsating X-ray transient \S was observed with \B on March 19, when the source was at a 2--10 keV flux level of $\sim$310~mCrab. We report on the high energy spectrum of the source, concentrating on cyclotron resonant…

We report broadband spectral properties of the high mass X-ray binary pulsar SMC X-2 by using three simultaneous $NuSTAR$ and $Swift$/XRT observations during its 2015 outburst. The pulsar was significantly bright, reaching a luminosity up…

We report phase resolved spectroscopy of the transient accreting pulsar, 4U0115+63. For the first time, more than two cylotron resonance scattering features are detected in the spectrum of an X-ray pulsar. The shape of the fundamental line…

Cyclotron resonance scattering features are observed in the spectra of some X-ray pulsars and show significant changes in the line energy with the pulsar luminosity. In a case of bright sources, the line centroid energy is anti-correlated…

We present a phase resolved spectral analysis of the X-ray binary 4U0115+63 based upon Beppo-Sax satellite observations. Three strong absorption lines have been detected at all phases. We interpreted them as a cyclotron resonant scattering.…

We report evidence of cyclotron resonance features from the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1806-20 in outburst, detected with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer in the spectrum of a long, complex precursor that preceded a strong burst. The features…

The peculiar X-ray binary Cygnus X-3 has been observed on several occasions with the X/gamma-ray instruments on board INTEGRAL. We have collected data from available public and Galactic Plane Scan observations between December 2002 and…

We report the results of a long observation of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849-400910 obtained with the BeppoSAX satellite in August 2001. The best-fit phase-averaged spectrum was an absorbed power law plus blackbody model, with…

We present pulse phase-resolved X-ray spectra of the high mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We observed Vela X-1 in 1998 and 2000 with a total observation time of ~90 ksec. We find an absorption feature at…

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 that combining spectral and timing analyses enhances their…

Using recent compilations of detailed X-ray observations and spectral models of exceptional quality, we record the electron cyclotron resonance absorption (ECRA) features that have been detected in 45 pulsating high-mass X-ray binaries…

In this Letter we present results from INTEGRAL and RXTE observations of the spectral and timing behavior of the High Mass X-ray Binary A 0535+26 during its August/September 2005 normal (type I) outburst with an average flux…

Early results from the INTEGRAL Core Program, for a sample of eight persistently bright neutron star low mass X-ray binaries in the energy range from 5 keV to 200 keV are presented. It is shown that INTEGRAL efficiently detects sources and…

In this paper, we summarize the RXTE measurements of cyclotron resonance scattering features in 8 accreting pulsars. The wide bandpass and modest resolution of the RXTE instruments make them ideal for measuring these generally broad…

Cyclotron resonant scattering features are an essential tool for studying the magnetic field of neutron stars. The fundamental line provides a measure of the field strength, while the harmonic lines provide information about the structure…

We analyze the observations of the transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63 with the RXTE and INTEGRAL observatories in a wide X-ray (3-100 keV) energy band during its intense outbursts in 1999 and 2004. The energy of the fundamental harmonic of…

X-ray spectra of many accreting pulsars exhibit significant variations as a function of flux and thus of mass accretion rate. In some of these pulsars, the centroid energy of the cyclotron line(s), which characterizes the magnetic field…

Using a consistent set of models, we parameterized the X-ray spectra of all accreting pulsars in the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer database which exhibit Cyclotron Resonance Scattering Features (CRSFs, or cyclotron lines). These sources in…

Her X-1 is one of the the most intensively studied Accreting X-ray Binary Pulsars (AXBPs). This is largely because it is a bright and persistent X-ray pulsar, showing the largest variety of observable phenomena, partly due to the favorable…

INTEGRAL regularly scans the Galactic plane to search for new objects and in particular for absorbed sources with the bulk of their emission above 10-20 keV. The first new INTEGRAL source was discovered on 2003 January 29, 0.5 degree from…
