Abstract:We report on a long X-ray observation of the slow-rotating binary pulsar GX 1+4. BeppoSAX observed, in the 0.1-200 keV energy range, an event in which the source flux dropped for almost a day, and then recovered. During this event only the highenergy emission was found to be pulsed and the pulsations were shifted in phase of ∼ 0.2. The spectrum during the event was well fitted by a Compton-reflection model. A broad iron line at ∼ 6.55 keV was present outside of the event, where instead two narrow emission line… Show more
