Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars.
Nagase, Fumiaki
This paper gives an overview of X-ray pulsars powered by the accretion of matter from a companion star in a close binary system. Recent advances in studies of X-ray pulsars are reviewed, with a special focus on the results of observations by the Hakucho and Tenma satellites. Some topics revealed by the Ginga satellite in the last one-and-a-half ye…

The BL Lacertae object PKS 2155-304 was observed with Ginga for two days in May 1987. The 2-35 keV intensity showed a significant variability, the most rapid change being a 30 percent increase in 3 hr. The X-ray spectrum was described by a single power-law model with photon spectral index ranging between 2.7 and 2.9, but the power-law slope showed…
