Do we see accreting magnetars in X-ray pulsars?
Strong magnetic field of accreting neutron stars (10 G) is hard to probe by Xray spectroscopy but can be indirectly inferred from spin-up/spin-down measurement in X-ray pulsars. The existing observations of slowly rotating X-ray pulsars are discussed. It is shown that magnetic fields of neutron stars derived from these observations (or lower limits in some cases) fall within the standard 10-10 ...
متن کاملDo magnetars glitch? : Timing irregularities in anomalous X-ray pulsars
We examine the timing history of several anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), and find that they exhibit spin down irregularities statistically similar to those of radio pulsars. We propose that these irregularities are simply glitches like those of radio pulsars and fit glitching spin down solutions to the data available for 1E 2259+586, 1E 1048.1-5937 and 4U 0142+61. The inferred magnitude of the ...
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 کاملBroad band Spectral Properties of Accreting X–ray Binary Pulsars
Broad-band spectra of accreting X–ray binary pulsars can be fit by a phenomenological model composed by a power law with a high energy rollover above 10 keV, plus a blackbody component with a temperature of few hundred eV. While, at least qualitatively, the hard tail can be explained in terms of (inverse) Compton scattering, the origin of the soft component cannot find a unique explanation. Rec...
متن کاملThe Physics of X-ray Emission from Accreting Millisecond Pulsars
By analyzing the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data on SAX J1808.4−3658, we show that the X-ray emission in accretion powered millisecond pulsars can be produced by Comptonization in a hot slab (radiative shock) of Thomson optical depth τes ∼ 1 at the neutron star surface. The escaping radiation consists of two components: a black body and a hard Comptonized tail. These components have very diffe...
