Data pubblicazione: | 2018 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS | Numero: | 857 | Fascicolo: | 1 | Da pagina:: | L3 | Abstract: | Based on phase-resolved broadband spectroscopy using XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, we report on a potential cyclotron resonant scattering feature (CRSF) at E ∼ 13 keV in the pulsed spectrum of the recently discovered ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) pulsar NGC 300 ULX1. If this interpretation is correct, the implied magnetic field of the central neutron star is B ∼ 1012 G (assuming scattering by electrons), similar to that estimated from the observed spin-up of the star, and also similar to known Galactic X-ray pulsars. We discuss the implications of this result for the connection between NGC 300 ULX1 and the other known ULX pulsars, particularly in light of the recent discovery of a likely proton cyclotron line in another ULX, M51 ULX-8. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28484 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aabadc | ISSN: | 2041-8205 | DOI: | 10.3847/2041-8213/aabadc | Bibcode ADS: | 2018ApJ...857L...3W | Fulltext: | open |
