Energy-resolved pulse profiles of accreting pulsars: Diagnostic tools for spectral features
Energy-resolved pulse profiles of accreting pulsars: Diagnostic tools for spectral features
Aims. We introduce a method for extracting spectral information from energy-resolved light curves folded at the neutron star spin period (known as pulse profiles) in accreting X-ray binaries. Spectra of these sources are sometimes characterized by features superimposed on a smooth continuum, such as iron emission lines and cyclotron resonant …
