We present results obtained from a Suzaku observation of the accretion powered X-ray pulsar GX 1+4. Broad-band continuum spectrum of the pulsar was found to be better described by a simple model consisting of a blackbody component and an exponential cutoff power-law than the previously used compTT continuum model. Though the pulse profile had a sharp dip in soft X-rays ($<$10 keV), phase-resolved spectroscopy confirmed that the dimming was not due to increase in photoelectric absorption. Phase-sliced spectral analysis showed the presence of a significant spectral modulation beyond 10 keV except for the dip phase. A search for the presence of cyclotron resonance scattering feature in the Suzaku spectra yielded a negative result. Iron K-shell (K$_alpha$ and K$_beta$) emission lines from nearly neutral iron ions ($<$Fe III) were clearly detected in the source spectrum. A significant K$_alpha$ emission line from almost neutral Ni atoms was detected for the first time in this source. We estimated the iron abundance of $sim$80 % of the solar value and Ni/Fe abundance ratio of about two times of the solar value. We searched for a iron Ly$_alpha$ emission line and found a significant improvement in the spectral fitting by inclusion of this line.
We report the timing and spectral properties of Be/X-ray binary pulsar GX 304-1 by using two Suzaku observations during its 2010 August and 2012 January X-ray outbursts. Pulsations at ~275 s were clearly detected in the light curves from both the obs
GX 301-2 provides a rare opportunity to study both disk and wind accretion in a same target. We report Insight-HXMT observations of the spin-up event of GX 301-2 happened in 2019 and compare with those of wind-fed state. The pulse profiles of the ini
We present here results obtained from three BeppoSAX observations of the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar SMC X-1 carried out during the declining phases of its 40--60 days long super-orbital period. Timing analysis of the data clearly shows a continui
We present analysis of RXTE--PCA observations of GX 1+4 between March 3, 2001 and January 31, 2003 together with the CGRO--BATSE X-ray flux and frequency derivative time series between 1991 and 1999. From the timing analysis of RXTE-PCA observations,
Neutron Stars are among the most exotic objects in the Universe. A neutron star, with a mass of 1.4-2 Solar masses within a radius of about 10-15 km, is the most compact stable configuration of matter in which degeneracy pressure can still balance gr
