Schanne ( MPE Garching, IAA Tuebingen, I | | Abstract: | The wind-accreting X-ray binary pulsar and cyclotron line source Vela X-1 has been observed extensively during INTEGRAL Core Program observations of the Vela region in June-July and November-December 2003. In the latter set of observations the source showed intense flaring -- see also Staubert et al. (2004), these proceedings. We present early results on time averaged and time resolved spectra, of both epochs of observations. A cyclotron line feature at ~53 keV is clearly detected in the INTEGRAL spectra and its broad shape is resolved in SPI spectra. The remaining issues in the calibration of the instruments do not allow to resolve the question of the disputed line feature at 20-25 keV. During the first main flare the average luminosity increases by a factor of ~10, but the spectral shape remains very similar, except for a moderate softening. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0406052 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
