We present spectral and timing analysis of NuSTAR observations of the accreting X-ray pulsar 2RXP J130159.6-635806. The source was serendipitously observed during a campaign focused on the gamma-ray binary PSR B1259-63 and was later targeted for a de dicated observation. The spectrum has a typical shape for accreting X-ray pulsars, consisting of a simple power law with an exponential cutoff starting at ~7 keV with a folding energy of E_fold=~18 keV. There is also an indication of the presence of a 6.4 keV iron line in the spectrum at the ~3 sigma significance level. NuSTAR measurements of the pulsation period reveal that the pulsar has undergone a strong and steady spin-up for the last 20 years. The pulsed fraction is estimated to be ~80%, and is constant with energy up to 40 keV. The power density spectrum shows a break towards higher frequencies relative to the current spin period. This, together with steady persistent luminosity, points to a long-term mass accretion rate high enough to bring the pulsar out of spin equilibrium.
We present results of all sky survey, performed with data acquired by the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory over eleven years of operation, at energies above 100 keV. A catalogue of detected sources includes 132 objects. The statistical sample detected on the time-averaged 100-150 keV map at a significance above 5 sigma contains 88 sources: 28 AGNs, 38 LMXBs, 10 HMXBs and 12 rotation-powered young X-ray pulsars. The catalogue includes also 15 persistent sources, which were registered with the significance 4 sigma < S/N < 5 in hard X-rays, but at the same time were firmly detected (>12 sigma) in the 17-60 keV energy band. All sources from these two groups are known X-ray emitters, that means that the catalogue has 100% purity in respect to them. Additionally, 29 sources were found in different time intervals. In the context of the survey we present a hardness ratio of galactic and extragalactic sources, a LMXBs longitudinal asymmetry and a number-flux relation for non-blazar AGNs. At higher energies, in the 150-300 keV energy band, 25 sources have been detected with a signal-to-noise ratio S/N > 5 sigma, including 7 AGNs, 13 LMXBs, 3 HMXBs, and 2 rotation-powered pulsars. Among LMXBs and HMXBs we identified 12 black hole candidates (BHC) and 4 neutron star (NS) binaries.
