Timing Characteristics of the Hard X-ray Emission from Bright X-ray Pulsars Based on INTEGRAL Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the results of a timing analysis of the observations for ten bright X-ray pulsars (with fluxes > 100 mCrab in the 20-100 keV energy band) that fell within the INTEGRAL field of view from 2003 to 2007. The dependence of the pulse profile on the energy and intrinsic source luminosity has been investigated; particular attention has been paid to searching for changes in the pulse profile near the cyclotron frequency. The dependence of the pulsed fraction for X-ray pulsars on their luminosity and energy band has been studied in detail for the first time.

New observational constraints on hard X-/γ-ray millisecond pulsar emission from 47 Tucanae
Recent X-/γ-ray observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) of 47 Tuc (NGC 104) are used to compare different models of millisecond pulsar emission. Data from both the Proportional Counter Array and the High Energy X-ray Timing Experiment are presented, covering a total energy range of 2–250 keV. A new upper limit on the hard X-/γ-ray emission from 47 Tuc is set, suggesting that th...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...

متن کاملAccreting X-ray Millisecond Pulsars Observed with Integral
I review the properties of three X-ray accreting millisecond pulsars observed with INTEGRAL. Out of seven recently discovered accretion-powered pulsars (one discovered by INTEGRAL), three were observed with the INTEGRAL satellite up to 300 keV. Detailed timing and spectral results will be presented, including data obtained during the most recent outburst of the pulsar HETE J1900.1-2455. Accreti...
متن کاملNustar Hard X-ray Observations of the Energetic Millisecond Pulsars Psr B1821−24, Psr B1937+21, and Psr J0218+4232
We present Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) hard X-ray timing and spectroscopy of the three exceptionally energetic rotation-powered millisecond pulsars PSRs B1821−24, B1937+21, and J0218+4232. By correcting the NuSTAR on-board clock for phase and frequency drifts between observation intervals, we are able to recover the intrinsic hard X-ray pulse profiles of all three pulsars wit...
